Everything in this world

has been a let down.

Someone is always quick

with a put down.

There is nothing to raise the spirit.

I can no longer bear it.

My heart is filled with love and kindness,

but I find that most have hearts

filled with hate and mischievousness.

It is just a waste,

and decisions are made in haste.

It makes me sad

and I feel bad.

Nothing to look forward to.

Nothing to do.

Plenty of fears and worries to face.

Daily we have to face the rat race.

Too much red tape to deal with.

Too expensive to live.

I don’t enjoy life anymore.

Life now is such a bore.

I go through the day same as always

with the same routine.

I sometimes get grouchy

and even mean

from the discouragement of it all.

Every time I go out there is a fall

in my mood, simply from what I have

to put up with and what I see,

but it is what we have come to know as reality.

Also, having to deal with pain on a daily basis

doesn’t help things,

it just adds to the difficulties of life

and all that brings.

I would like for my heart to sing,

but I don’t know how to make that come true.

Maybe I’m too negative or harsh,

maybe my outlook needs work.

Maybe I am just a jerk.

I have been told that I was before,

maybe I should have listened more.

The world has gotten bad,

but my reality shouldn’t be

based on that.

Your attitude plays a big part

in how smoothly your life runs.

So maybe it is time to work on that

 and make a fresh start.
