This poem is about my confusion and struggles in life that matter to me. |
What do you do When someone you love doesn’t understand What do you say When you’ve disappointed people and let them down How do you react When life just doesn’t seem to make much sense Where do you turn To get the hope and strength that you really need I’m trying to figure it out Struggling to comprehend What my life is all about And in the end There is no doubt That if I don’t make some progress I’m going to lose out Why is it the most important things to me Can be the hardest to keep faith in Why does there have to be War, destruction, and death Why does the economy have to be Such a nightmare That people who really need benefits Are losing them And that those who need jobs Struggle to find them How can I make any of my dreams come true When I’m not happy in a job And I quit or lose it And I try to find another Before it’s too late I was so foolish Why couldn’t I appreciate That I at least had an income? I feel bad because I want to help others But I get so involved in my own problems And financially things are such a mess How can I give up a dream When it’s so close to happening When it took so long for it to be okay God only knows when any other dreams Will be possible I’ll go crazy if all I can do is wait I’m sorry that I left my last job With just a phone call I wished that I’d kept my opinions to myself In the most recent job I’ve got to find something that I can feel good about That not only pays the bills But also makes me want to stay there for awhile And provides benefits God help me to be strong It’s important that I Determine where I belong I’ll be able to help others So much better after I can help myself It’s so important to me To make this work The world, our country, and economy all have issues Why does life have to be so hard I don’t know but I do know That I’m not giving up. |
