"Silver Lining"

Even when I'm doing right,
  Life still just isn't fair;
No matter how much good I do,
  The world just doesn't care.

I try to stay on the good path,
  I try to do no wrong;
And yet all the way around,
   Injustice comes along!

Anytime I get my hopes up,
  It never works out well;
Just when I think things are good,
  It all just goes to hell!

Don't dwell on the past, they say,
  Always give it your all,
You never can anticipate
  When that other shoe will fall!

Although things are dark right now,
  I will keep my head high;
I have too much to focus on,
  To let this life go by!
