Another Wasted Day Poem by Francis Duggan

I've no reason to be happy but why be sad anyway
On my life the clock is ticking on another wasted day
Nothing to show for my existence don't have anything to smile about
Though I know I'm but one of many whose mind is ravaged by self doubt
After many disappointments and years of struggling to cope
With our shattered expectations we are giving up on hope
But the will to live is stronger so we will live on 'til we die
'Tis a fact that fear of death keeps many living and facts do never lie
Another wasted day in my life I have known many of these
And though I don't wish to be wealthy I am not that hard to please
I could do with more money of making ends meet I've grown tired
About life when you are financially struggling it is hard to feel inspired.
I've no reason to feel happy since things are not going my way
And the clock on my life is ticking on another wasted day.
