Dropping Out of School
juggling three jobs
raising four kids
mediocre pay
thoroughly exhausted
she finally has to give up
lets her kids go to the state
because she cannot feed them
given to a couple who live in the suburbs
who will always choose their own children over hers
dropping out of school seemed right
when she was sixteen and depressed
but now she has regrets
is it too late?
Probably.
