Topic: The cry of a desperate man

Lost and alone
I walk down the street
Trying so hard
just to make the ends meet
No sign of employment
around here can I find
I have the strange feeling
I'm losing my mind
Friends around here
of whom I have none
I'd be oh so thankful
if there was just one
Job applications
So many I've filed
With not one reply
I feel I'm reviled
This is the cry
of a desperate man
I've done all in my power,
done all that I can
Family ignore me
from none do I hear
Maybe things will improve
by this time next year
I wish nothing more
than a cheerful hello
A cheerful good morning,
not I think you should go
Is there any respite
to my doubt and my sorrow
Who know, things could be better
by this time tomorrow
I try to keep up
a good disposition
I pray for some help
On this my last mission.
No matter what happens
I will not complain
All that I ask
Is to be happy again.

Good prose- You have a reasonable knack for wordage-

"Maybe things will improve
by this time next year"

Look to the Future, remember the past and live for today :) It can't rain all the time-
