I have those good friends
I have loyal friends who support me.

And fought the good fight
I have faced difficult challenges and persevered.

I've seen some great things
I have had positive experiences.

And have a great life
Overall, my life is good.

So I don't know why I'm rarely smiling
Despite having good things in my life, I struggle with my emotions and often feel unhappy.

I have those good days
I experience days where things go well and I feel positive.

And give the good vibes
I try to spread positivity to others.

I have a huge heart and even though I try
I am a caring person who tries to help others.

I'm always struggling
Despite my efforts, I still find life difficult.

Is it just me
I wonder if I am the only one who feels this way.

I don't know
I am uncertain about the future.

As I fall far below this poverty line
I am in a difficult financial situation.

Everyone says that I'll be fine
Others try to reassure me that things will improve.

But I just don't believe them
Despite their reassurances, I struggle to have faith in a better future.

Can you blame me
I question whether my lack of faith is reasonable.

You said that we're on our own
You acknowledged that we must rely on ourselves for support.

I knew just what you meant
I understood your message clearly.

As I held you you were crying
You were emotional and I comforted you.

Saying words I now forget
You spoke about something that I no longer remember.

In these moments
During these emotional moments.

It's so easy to believe we'll never get it right
It is easy to feel hopeless and like we will never succeed.

But these moments don't define us
These struggles do not define who we are as people.

How we cope defines our lives
Rather, it is how we deal with challenges that shapes our character and influences our experiences.

Well I know they say it's all going to get better
Others say that things will improve in the future.

Even more so if we do it together
They believe that we can make things better if we work together.

But I don't know, sometimes I close my eyes
Despite this, I still feel uncertain about the future.

And those sunny skies just fade to grey
Optimism fades and disappointment sets in.

And I just think, we're all going to die some day so what the hell
Existential thoughts come to mind and make me question the meaning of everything.

Well i hate to be the pessimist
I do not enjoy being negative.

In every situation that I'm ever in
Despite this, I often find myself dwelling on negatives in any circumstance.

But I always am now
This perspective has become a habit for me.

And I don't like it but life made me like this
I am aware that my negativity is not helpful, but it is difficult to change.

And I'm so jaded I'm so jaded
I am disillusioned and pessimistic.

Is it just me
I wonder if others feel this way too.

Am I cursed
Sometimes I feel like I am the victim of unfortunate circumstances.

Forced to live to always work
I feel like I am in a position where I must always be working to survive.

The institution finds us useless if we don't
Society values productivity and success, and sees those who do not work as unimportant.

Im a loser now and I always will be baby
Sometimes, I feel like a failure and that I will never be successful.

Sometimes I wanna run run run away
At times, I feel overwhelmed and want to escape from my problems.

From all the problems that I'm facing
I face many challenges in my life.

You said we were on our own
Once again, you acknowledged that we must rely on ourselves for support.

I knew just what you meant
I understood your message clearly.

As I held you, you were crying out
Once again, I comforted you while you were emotional.

Saying words that I now forget
You spoke about something that I no longer remember.

In these moments
During these emotional moments.

It's so easy to believe we'll never get it right
It is easy to feel hopeless and like we will never succeed.

But these moments don't define us
These struggles do not define who we are as people.

How we cope defines our lives
Rather, it is how we deal with challenges that shapes our character and influences our experiences.

We're not broken we're just broken hearted
Although we may feel hurt and damaged, we still have the potential to heal and recover.
