Robert Walker Poet Rhyme

Cant Get It Back

It’s the beginning of the week all your moneys spent 
Youre left wondering  where your time has went
A long ways from payday and short on rent 
Is this really the way your life was meant

See you should not have put all your eggs in one basket
Thinking life would be so fantastic 
You’ve made bad choices from the cradle to the casket 
Not know that life would turn out  this drastic

Yea from a childs point of view life looked great
Thinking we could overcome all of its past mistakes 
Tossing our hopes in the well and leaving it all up to faith 
And now you wanna change but it’s a little too late

Life is a hard climb to the top of a very steep hill
And very easy to blow over one cheap thrill
I know it all seems like a very messed up deal 
But we have to learn to swallow it like a bitter pill


So Now all those past nightmares has become reality 
And you ve come to   realizing how cruel life can be 
You were told in the beginning that nothing is free 
But who would ever thought it would come with such a fee
