Everything's far from right
The future has no hope of being bright
Stress, troubles, and pains
Give you a reason to complain
Wondering why things are going this way
Why this is the price that you have to pay
You cry out in desperation
From your worries, you crave separation
A need for determination
But you fail and then comes frustration
You're overwhelmed by life's stresses
Beyond anyone's guesses
Life has dealt you a hand
That was not a part of your plan

Betrayal from a cherished friend,
where will all the heartache

succumbing to frustration,
by Bobby Coles
Boiling point reached a couple of stressors ago
Seems as though you're in a self-induced prison
Nowhere to turn to, nowhere
