I'm in a slump, I'm feeling stressed
It's really bad, I feel depressed
Haven't got rid of my anger yet
I contemplate a walk at night
I loaf instead, I lack the fight
Emotions ache like threshold pain
When walking through the pouring rain
The sadness swells and fills me up
It overflows, a brimming cup
My crying tears an endless flow
I cannot cope I'm sluggish slow
I've weathered thick and worried thin
I know I'll thrive, I'll not give in
To feel this way is part of life
To be dejected, feeling strife
Quite quietly I clench my fist
And vow once more that I’ll persist
The turning point is getting near
Without delay, I'll get in gear.
