sitting here, tears streaming down my face
i inhale another drag off of my cigarrette
never thought this would be me......
never thought id ever be so low

so many dreams i have waited for to come true
too many goals left unfulfilled
failure after failure, always one step behind
wrong place, wrong time... the story of my life

i struggle to go on from day to day
wondering why i continue to continue
bills are piling up, not enough money to go around
no one understands there is a mouth i have to feed

stress and tension is a normal accurance
wonder what its like to go a day without having a headache
that empty feeling in the pit of my stomach
when my child asks why i always say " not this time honey i dont have enough money for that today."

when does it end....
when do things get better?
when does a person finally have enough?
when do you give up the hope of a better life?

i inhale again...last cigarrette..
i exhale...and begin to pray..once more

Exellent,A+ ;)

never give up !

sadly it is the story of many ... we're all going to be okay

how well you put into words the depth of your feelings...

Wow Maleah great write....

Thank you all so much

life in these times can be challenging to many-times always change...usually not as fast as we would like though
