Adversity City
From my birth life has been an adventure
Born to parents impoverished
The family formula demolished
Grandparents disappointedly astonished
To see their daughter they had pointedly not missed
Her three sons whose existence had been admonished
It's something from my mind that has not split.
In my adulthood I am desperate
Intelligent but afraid to be helpless
How sublime the confidence; never to be bested
Accepted for college, unable to pay with credit
And outward I look, seeking your investment.
And so I ask from my heart, I'm no poet but hopefully my impression's impressive.
Please save me from this cesspit
