Hard Times
HARD TIMES
by Tina M Lasley
Paralyzed with fear
The debts, they keep on mounting
Sitting all alone
On no one I am counting
Head of the Household
It’s all on my shoulder
The weight of the world
On my back like a boulder
How much can one person take
Handling it all alone
Is there any help in sight
An act of kindness to be shown
An emotional meltdown
I could not contain
The floodgates have opened
Such a heavy rain
So much despair
For just one soul
Wearing me down
Taking its toll
Who do I ask
Where do I turn
So overwhelmed
Serenity I yearn
My mind is racing
I’m so full of worry
Where is the help
Need it to hurry
Where is God
Does he hear my plea
I need His help
A blessing bestowed upon me
Be still my mind
Doubts don’t come round
Inner peace I seek
And will be found
