Paid My Dues
I should relax,
Instead, I'm stressed.
I got the blues,
I'm depressed.
It is like there are
Chains on me.
The lessons of life
Don't come free.
I find it hard to believe
The things I'm seeing.
I've lost hope,
Need to start believing.
I have lots of places
To go.
It's hard for me,
I move slow.
Can't catch a break,
I spoke
Can't laugh
This is no joke.
I keep searching for
Some peace.
Bad energy I need
To release.
It's hard to be
Strong.
Everything feels
Wrong.
I refuse to be thrown
Off track.
New mindset,
I'm coming back.
I'm battered, beaten
And bruised.
You could say,
I paid my dues.
