From the Floor Up

as i get up off the floor 
im reaching for the front door
off to school im rady to go , without breakfast but no one knows 
maybe i should skip school and get on the morning hustle , just for a dollar to get some food
because im waking up off the floor hungry ,cold ,and body sore , but one day i will leave that 
floor
