Struggle

Michael William Reid

I try to make it through the day

 

And don't let others lead me astray

 

But life is hard and life is tough

 

And there is too many people who make it rough 

 

I try to keep on being strong 

 

But maybe I am not

 

Maybe I am wrong 

 

Maybe I can never climb 

 

This mountain of a life of mine 

 

I will keep on fighting 

 

Step by step mile by mile

 

Until I can smile a truly happy smile

 

Everything I do to make me whole

 

Does not seem to heal my injured soul 

 

I strive to be a better man 

 

To make the world a better place

 

But I am tired of my whole plan

 

I hide it behind my happy face
