Work
Work, I look around, work
Where’s dad I ask?
Work, that’s where dad is, work.
I need money mom!
Work, you want money? Then work.
My grades are bad! How do I get them up?
Work, if you want good grades you have to work.
I want to keep this relationship!
Work! I can’t be the only one trying, so work.
These kids won’t stop crying! What do I do?
Work. The kids need effort. Work.
I can’t walk anymore, my body hurts.
Work. Keep yourself up and work.
The cancer is taking over my body!
Work. The cells need to work!
I can’t stay any longer.
Work, please try harder to stay, please work.
I love you, but I have to go.
Stop, don’t work anymore, you have worked hard your whole life, work isn’t an option anymore, go, but know I love you, and I will work to make you proud. I will work.
