The Way I Feel


I feel helpless from time to time,

Its as if all I want to do is whine from nine to five.

Life is a struggle with its ups and downs,

making me feel as if im going to drown.

Although this is how I feel on a daily,

there is a goal I have in mind that keeps me afloat,

its my boat that keeps me from drowning,

makes me realise that I am not helpless

This is how I feel, there is no changing that.
