The life I have makes me feel tired of living.
The progress, so slow, there's hardly anything.
I can't help but feel my hope is draining.
My plans and dreams, when do I start achieving?
-
Life's too uncertain for me to be patiently waiting.
What if I die tomorrow, achieving nothing?
My mind and flesh, why must they desire everything?
It makes me feel like life's constantly disappointing.
-
Working hard to achieve what I'm dreaming.
But obstacles and problems are in my way, grinning.
The madness of this world has got me thinking,
Why on earth am I even existing?
-
Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for every blessing.
It's just that at times, hardships can be overbearing,
It overshadows what I can be grateful for, that I end up crying
To God, who I hope will comfort me for trying.
-
Sometimes it feels better to die now than go on sinning.
But God gives me the water that is life - giving.
Little by little, life becomes worth living.
Surely with Him, life would be fulfilling.
