Smiling Thief in the Night

Stress appeared with a smiling face 
Giving my success a on-going chase 
That serves me nothing nice 
Leaving me in the middle of the night 
Without happiness in sight 
I dream of making it where I hope to be 
On the top of my game, lifted from all the shame 
With less than a month to conclude 
to plan C, bills kicking my wallet like a flat plastic ball 
Ending up with nothing but faith to strengthen 
My push and having no drive to steer 
My tank is on E, 
so how am I going to make it to the next level? 
When the world is beating me up on my left and right, 
then a verse comes to my mind and I look upto the hills 
Which cometh my help and sing, 
"You can make it, You can make it" 
and send the smiling thief knowing that I still have Joy!
