Why Bother
I sit here again; because I can't sleep
I wonder,why has this happened to us again?
why for the umpteenth time. we've lost it all
so why do we even try to remain
I can go back on the road and continue to
do what I do---DRIVE
Just so the bills will get paid and maybe we
will be ok, maybe we will survive
But oh how many times I've said these words
to my children and myself such a waste of time
you cannot, no matter how you try turn a
penny into a dime.
Money, money that's all it will take
to put a stop to this awful dread
But you know what? This is how I feel,
I may as well be dead
