Notes About The Poem

When you lost everything you worked for You feel the real affects of being poor Life isn't normal you dont function the same Things were stolen from you with no one to blame Thats when any and everything seems to matter most As you gain items back you have reason to boast Losing things quickly when you gained it slowly can be a pain Feeling as though everything you worked for is in vain Its not easy starting over when you know what you had Each time you realize you need something it makes you sad You feel that nothing is ever going to settle Your patience wearing thin while gaining little by little What was taken from you was yours and you want it back It was here today and gone tomorrow just like that When you have something for years you grow attached You feel a sense of emptiness when starting from scratch

Listen to poem:

Starting From Scratch

When you lost everything you worked for
You feel the real affects of being poor 
Life isn't normal you dont function the same 
Things were stolen from you with no one to blame
Thats when any and everything seems to matter most
As you gain items back you have reason to boast
Losing things quickly when you gained it slowly can be a pain
Feeling as though everything you worked for is in vain
Its not easy starting over when you know what you had
Each time you realize you need something it makes you sad
You feel that nothing is ever going to settle
Your patience wearing thin while gaining little by little
What was taken from you was yours and you want it back
It was here today and gone tomorrow just like that
When you have something for years you grow attached 
You feel a sense of emptiness when starting from scratch
