“Weak”


Got to go and clean my room.  Got to learn to cook.
Got to learn to save money.  Got to read a book.
Got to organize my life; set my future straight.
Got to exercise and work.  Got to find a date.

Time to wash all of my clothes.  Time to help my dad.
Time to go fourth with strong pride, even though I’m sad.
Got to give it all I’ve got; with nothing to give.
Time to care about myself; with no will to live.

I know there are bills to pay.  I know we are poor.
If I can’t find happiness, my life is no more.
I know I should get fresh air, get outside some more.
I know that my health is starting to get real poor.

But with lack of energy and the lack of time.
I cannot clean up my life and make living fine.
I know I need to grow up and become a man.
With no motivation, there is no way I can.

So how do I help improve my home and my life,
with no loving family and without a wife?
I don’t have the time or energy to improve.
I am so tired and weak, I can barely move.

I cannot improve my life until I get love.
Getting energy and confidence from above.
But I’ll never see the day I will be happy.
I cannot improve.  I am helpless as can be.
