Down In the dumps I lay

Not feeling any happiness

One lonely tear ran down my eye

As I thought of my life

Sick and pathetic I sat up

Thinking of the good times

I didn't even get up to double digits

With despair I thought of my life

My sick and pathetic life

Why is it worth living

Feeling tired all the time

Nothing good seems to happen

But when it does it has a short ending

Back down I lie

Suddenly light surrounds me

My family comes gushing in

I say leave me alone

But that is like telling the sun not to rise

My curtains flip open as I shut my eyes

The sun burns I say

But this is just the beginning of another day

As this goes on every morning

I know my family is always there

So I find a will to get out of bed

And greet the sun with the respect it deserves

On my way to school I see the cars passing by

And think where are they heading

What's there life like

As I get to the school I say goodbye to my mum

And tiredly but happily walk through the school gate
