feel as if the floor below
Is caving in beneath me
That I will fall so deep I know
That no one else can reach me
It seems the things I think are true
Unfailingly deceive me
And all the good I try to do
Just fades away completely
Despite my frantic efforts
I never seem to set it
The way that it should be
So I don’t have to edit
The things I wish I’d done
I always just regret it
But it will bother me
Just as I choose to let it
There are those there that say
There’s no use ever griping
Just hush and wait it out
Your fruit yet still is riping
But what say I to tears
It seems I’m always wiping
When my affairs do fail
And don’t appease my liking?
I hate this pressing grief
No joy to be alive
When all the good in life
From me worries deprive
But after all is done
I find I do derive
From force that trouble brings
The skills yet still to thrive
