I push aside unhappy thoughts
Try to laugh away the blues
Rationalize that I must have committed some sins
And God wants me to repay
Her negativity tries to engulf me
But God helps me find a chink
I escape
I try to be happy
But do not always succeed
Everybody pays
I hope the cycle breaks now
It should not continue
The suffering should come to an end
The future should smile benevolently
Upon my kids
Not even the shadow of this senselessness
Touch them.
