Rough times


I’m in my rough times 

My mind is spending 

My heart is racing 

My hands is shaking , 

I keep telling myself it’s gonna be ok ,

I keep praying , 

Everyday I fight depression, 

I fight with myself everyday , 

Depression make me be hard on myself , 

Talk down on myself , 

Blame myself , 

Hate myself , 

But in the end I’m in rough times , 

Reach out nobody there , 

Cry out nobody can hear , 

Walk by nobody seen me ,

Explain my story nobody understand,

Cried so many tears fought so many battles ,

Fought so many fights , 

Finished high school , 

One year In college,

Had four daughters ,

Got on my feet , 

Fell off , still going dumb ,

But yet and still I’m in rough times 

My whole life been rough times , 

I never had a childhood or fun , 

I’m starting to have fun now , 

But yet and still I’m in rough times
