Oh, yes,
I appear joyful sometimes.
The truth is, I'm not happy.
I'm dying inside.
I'm crying within.
Everything I do goes wrong.
Poverty defeats all my plans.
I feel like a cursed person.
I feel heavy.
I feel like I need to offload something.
My shoulders are heavy.
My backbone sings a different tune.
Sharp pains are running straight to my heart.
Will I ever survive this?
I smell brightness through the darkness.
I smell success from those cars passing by.
I smell wonderful meals from the restaurants.
I wish I could afford it.
I wish I knew my fate.
I wish I could change my destiny.
My last hope is in God's hands.
