Money Changes Faces
I feel like having no money
can really make your mind drift.
It can make you contemplate some
things that a richer you
wouldn't even bother with.
Sometimes I am appalled at the
thoughts that can come running
into my mind. I wasn't raised
this way but life can
cause you to stray when
your going through the fire.
I need money to survive
being without it makes me feel weak
I hate that something made of paper
could have me feeling so incomplete.
I try to find quick schemes
because jobs are hard to find
maybe even though about compromising
myself just for the dollar one time.
I quickly jumped back
I realized that isn't me
but it's easy to lose yourself
when you dealing with the struggle
to obtain money.
