Have You Ever Suffered Poem by Francis Duggan

Have you ever suffered of low self esteem
And worried of how to others you do seem
And you even feel reluctant to walk down the street
And people you know you would rather not meet
And survival's battle for you a great fight
And nothing you do seems to turn out right
And the odds stacked against you though hard you do strive
Your hardest struggle is just for to survive
Whilst others around you are enjoying success
You feel you are a failure and you know about stress
And as with your financial problems you struggle to cope
You look to the future as one without hope
And though the good days for you may forever be gone
Your great lust for life helps you for to live on.
