NOT MY TIME

Written by The Skills Network on .

It is not my time,
to speak the words that echo my point of view
It is not my time,
to be made to wait in the endless jobless queue
It is not my time,
I am controlled by every word the Job Centre say
It is not my time,
to question at all I am just here to obey
It is not my time,
to have the choice I have not earned that right
It is not my time,
I am deemed unworthy, accept my unfortunate plight
It is not my time,
all they see before them is a single workless Mum
It is not my time,
I lost my voice when I became a benefit bum

Doesn't matter how it all began
Doesn't matter what the circumstances are
Doesn't matter what situation you are in
Doesn't matter how you have struggled so far

It is not my time,
my financial position is dependent on the state
It is not my time,
I am undeserving too little definitely too late
It is not my time,
to make plans and have control on my life
It is not my time,
when I am trapped in this chaotic, struggle and strife
It is not my time,
I dare not dream of what I would like to achieve
It is not my time,
only to be told what I can and cannot receive
It is not my time,
to even think I can say what is right for me
It is not my time,
it will only be my time when I am benefit free!

It is not my time, I am deemed not worthy accept my unfortunate plight
It is not my time, all they see before them is a single workless Mum
It is not my time, I lost my voice when I became a benefit bum

Doesn't matter how it all began
Doesn't matter what the circumstances are
Doesn't matter what situation you are in
Doesn't matter how you have struggled so far

It is not my time, my financial position is dependent on the state
It is not my time, I am undeserving to little definitely to late
It is not my time, to make plans and have control on my life
It is not my time, when I am trapped in this struggle and strife
It is not my time, I dare not dream of what I would like to achieve
It is not my time, only to be told what I can and cannot receive
It is not my time, to even think I can say what is right for me
It is not my time, it will only be my time when I am benefit free!!
