Suffering and Struggle Trying To Feed a Family

Suffering and struggle trying to feed a family
Hard work makes you feel manly
You feel manly when you feed your family
A family appreciates a man who strives and searches every alley
Every alley searched no lid left unturned
Ins and outs you learn
You yearn for better, the world is cold better is warm
When weight is heavier your strong
Familiarity is strong but love is a heavier bond
Easy to admit a wrong, move on
Correct it in the long,
A spirit of a man collected that’s what makes a family strong
Personal fears faced now fears facing the wrong way
Because you take it by storm
Chasing more until your amidst a swarm
Leading a pack weight on your back heavy paws on the floor
To lift them you clench your jaws sweat from your pores
Heal your own subliminal sores 
Because families more important than your own stats collectively we score
