1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back

Why is life such a struggle?
like your life has this big crack.
You take one big step forward,
And life knocks you three steps back.
You just can’t seem to get ahead,
No matter how hard you try.
Some days are worse than others,
And it just makes you want to cry.
The Bills are more than what you make, 
And Not much money to buy food.
Your getting on each other's nerves,
And it starts to put you in a mood.
Your life just seems so broken,
There is no way to fix this crack.
So you keep taking one step forward,
Just to get knocked three steps back.

I think many can relate to this happening and it is a very difficult place to be. You expressed it well with your poem :)
