You Struggle To Cope Poem by Francis Duggan

You struggle to cope and your moods are all black
And your nervous system from stress is under attack
But courage is a thing that you do not lack
And against the odds you do keep on fighting back
In your desperation you've contemplated suicide
But your will to live is strong and such urges you have denied
For you feel no desire to be amongst the dead
And you do sense that better days of you are ahead
Financially poor and your luck is not in
But you often daydream of a big lotto win
And like It is said all things do come to those who do wait
In hope you are one of those who does keep faith
In public you do not appear as one feeling down
And you walk with a smile on the streets of the town
