For Years You've Been Struggling Poem by Francis Duggan

For years you've been struggling with your sense of low self esteem
But in that you are not alone it does seem
So many as you are struggling in this way
Perhaps hundreds of millions in the Human World of today
In a World where success through materialism is seen as the in thing
And the praises of billionaires and celebrities many do love to sing
Those born with frail egos are struggling to cope
To them lack of money brings with it lack of any hope
Of success and happiness in the tomorrows ahead
In their moods of despair many wish themselves dead
There are many like you more than you realize
Lack of money to feelings of insecurity gives rise
And so many like you low in self esteem
This is sad though this also is life it does seem.
