A day in shoes that don't fit

Waking up every day freezing cold
Feeling way lower than low
Feet hurt from walking,
 cause you got nowhere to go
Everything you own in tow
Wishing you would have just known how to grow and let go of all of the pain and hurt 
that encompassed your soul 
And kept you from ever feeling whole
As long as you can remember, 
You just wanted to be loved
But since the day you were born,
 your mother made sure you knew 
you would never be enough.
 And every time push came to shove 
You always came up short 
from whatever it was 
shtt fckn rough..
life always been way too tough. 
Never known even an ounce of luck. 
Trying so hard to give a fckk.
Prayin to have a chance to come up
But it seems ya missed that truck
On a dead end,one way road
.....just stuck
