Dollar To Dollar

Living dollar to dollar Is the way of life If you don’t have a scholar. Counting the pennies Day to day don’t have dollars to pay your way. Depression and tears Go hand in hand, Just want to bury My head in the sand. At the register Not enough, for food, Only then you realize The magnitude. Cannot go out Without a doubt I have no money To shout. Working hard to pay bills, Low income job I have no skills. Staying strong Things will change Then I can Money exchange. Staying positive, is hard to do Set back after set back You going to crack, You feel under attack. A new day dawns, Hope is there All in all You should not despair.

I enjoy the last stanza. 'Staying positive, is hard.... ...You should not despair.' though tough to stay without money to pave ways and pay bills. Money is truly everything but we should go on if we fail to have it at a point in time.
