I have dreams
Big and small
But happiness
Runs through them all
And if you won't
Give that to me
I'll do it myself
Just wait and see
I can't be low
I can't be sad
For four more years
That won't be had
So since you won't
Allow me that
Don't be surprised
When I fight back
Despite what I'm told
I deserve dreams -
Ambitions - hopes -
And high self esteem
I'm in a rut
Now I'm stressed
Anxiety
Is at its best
Mental health gone
Down the drain
You're only putting
Me through pain
You won't pay
"It's not religious"
But that doesn't make me
Superstitious
I need joy
Why can't you see
That no support
Has killed these dreams
