I am caught in this system

With no job or means of income

I do not have a solution in mind

I am in hope of relief

A once hopeful now gloomy outlook

This cloud is gathering over my life

If only I knew what would make things right

I am sitting here between a bullet and a knife

The challenges are many and the solutions are few

This cannot be a dream

Because the pain of hopelessness is real

I reach for tomorrow to relief today

I shall reach the end of the long dark tunnel

No exits or turning around

Because when I exit the other side

I will be better from this experience somehow
