Why is life so hard these days?

I keep trying to figure out

how to live successfully in different ways.

I seriously want to shout.

 

You guys don't even understand.

I'm sacrificing my whole life to be in college

just so i can get the upper hand

on living and to better my knowledge.

 

I'm nearly homeless people!

We're trying to get rid of the cable and phones.

Nearly failing, because this isn't the life we know.

We're moving into an apartment and i'm gonna be alone.

 

College seems to be the only outlet;

My only resource to make sure my family lives better.

I feel like I'm in a rainstorm that hasn't stopped yet.

I'm trying to find a dry place but, i keep getting wetter.

 

My head is as scrambled as this poem.

I don't know how to organize anything anymore.

Every time I think I'm about to get out of this mess, life says "nope".

This situation called "life" has stripped away my happiness to the core.

 

Why is life so hard?

I have to rely on people to judge my art

just to see if i can take this college thing far

and not have my life COMPLETELY fall apart.

 

There's no guarantee.

Where am i supposed to get money from?

I cannot rely on anyone but me.

At least I did this scholarship and i guess I'm done.
