Bitter Melody
Bleeding inside
waking every morning
hungry
Still committed to the grind
too many are dependent upon me
two jobs
Barely holding on
bills are forever in my face
collections call awaken violence
Twelve hours a day
my faith crumbles
dripping away in sweat
Afraid to be seen crying
holding so much inside
there is far too much baggage
This is by far so wrong
held down
laughed at
Pretending to be strong
but hurting inside
keeping the truth a secret
Everyday dying a little inside
life seems to pass me by
my words unspoken
Feeling as in a storm
shelter is hard find
frustration becomes my tears
My pain
a bittersweet melody
played twelve hours a day
Always wanting more
this too seems like nightmares
hoping to live through the moment
