Struggling
Sometimes I wake up and just want to cry/
It seems society deemed me unfit to survive/
I made mistakes, and I know I was wrong/
I only wanna move forward and carry on/
But I can't get hired because of court papers/
I’m doin the opposite of elevating, im declining/
And its hard to keep my soul forever shinning/
Because I’m unwanted, stuck in a binding/
Caught in the mist of pain I produced/
And it's deteriorating my soul like a bite from a brown recluse/
I feel trapped, incarcerated in a mental deminsion/
Hanging on by one thread left in my existing/
Sometimes I ask, “Lord why”?/
But Im yet to here any such reply/
Im left alone in the valley of the shadow of death/
Wishing one day I’ll feel serenity before my final breathe/
