My Present

Stressed, depressed...all understatements Striving for greatness but not coming close to making it See for you it's poetry but for me it's our life To walk in the house with my kids and out goes the light I know it's a cold hearted world but this is not right Try to get help and they are putting us through hell I walk with a smile on my face so the people can't tell I did not grow up rich but our power never got turned off I made a go fund me trying to bring heat and lights back to my kids But its another cold dark night as they lay in their beds As I write this by candle light the tears are falling fast I'm longing for the day that this is just a bad memory in our past Mommy and Daddy are sorry that this happened Mommy cares for you daily all having health issues Daddy works hard... after the bills we can barely afford tissues You are our world and we love you, nothing on this planet above you For most this is poetry but for us it's our present
