Can't Seem to Shake It

Everyday is like a nightmare.
I'm so tired
of everything going wrong.
Bad luck hits hard
and seems to be the norm.
I know things could always be worse
but, they could certainly be better, too.
The past couple days
feel as though
I've been in a depression.
I just can't seem to shake it.
My family is suffering.
Frustration and stress
have taken over my life
and now I'm just going with it.
Every morning I wonder
what the obstacle of the day will be.
Why does everything have to go wrong?
Aren't I deserving of less stress?
Haven't I worked hard enough
for a little peace?
I play the lottery
like I'm actually going to win,
like it's actually going to change my life.
I try to think positive thoughts
but, the negative always seeps through.
The past couple days
have been especially bad for me
and my depressing mood
seems to be worse
with each new day.
I'm looking forward to it passing.
I just can't seem to shake it.
Everyday is like a nightmare
and I'm waiting to wake up
to happier times.
