I feel hopeless and trapped,
Like I’m stuck and not tough,
It feels like I have been slapped,
Because I’m not good enough.
I cry and I cry,
When I’m feeling so down,
I shouldn’t say goodbye,
I shouldn’t frown.
I need to keep my head way up high,
Not down, but instead,
In the heavens, in the sky,
Waiting and looking ahead.
I don’t know what to do,
When I’m feeling like this,
I need to work out how to,
Stand there and resist.
I feel like I am losing my friends,
One by one they go,
Lots of people recommend,
That I do not fall below.
When I fall to my knees,
I feel so much pain,
I cannot move, I freeze,
I can’t seem to explain.
I find it so hard,
I’m feeling insane,
I feel so scarred,
And I always get the blame.
I don’t know what to do,
When I’m feeling like this,
I need to work out how to,
Stand there and resist.
Some people tell me,
That I’m not worth it,
They tell me to agree,
Instead I go to a corner and sit.
My heads in the sand,
And all I do is worry,
I don’t seem to understand,
Instead I hurry.
When I feel so upset,
You have got to beware,
I have to not forget,
That if I need anyone say a prayer.
I don’t know what to do,
When I’m feeling like this,
I need to work out how to,
Stand there and resist.
