Suddenly Life Was a Headache
Once life was fun, back when I was young.
Always on the go, and depression I did not know.
Then came the challenge of raising my kids,
trying to understand the weird things they did.
Then came divorce, now this was the curse,
suddenly my life was thrown in reverse.
Then came the bills, pilling up high, so many
of them, I would sit and cry.
Then my mirror started playing tricks on me,
wrinkle after wrinkle was all I could see.
Then my health went flying downhill,
nothing but doctors and so many pills, not to
mention a lot more bills.
Then came reality, I could work no more,
my life was a mess, I was so poor.
I know something better is waiting somewhere, but
then I ask myself," Do I Even Care?"
Of course I do, or I would not be here,
nursing this headache, and wiping my tears.
Hanging by a thread is my way of life, but I am
thankful, I am still in the fight.
I think someday I will write a book, I have much
to tell about the path I took, but in the meantime,
if your life is similar of the same;
Get your boat ready, because it's going to rain.
