Struggle For A Living


Need somewhere to go Don't have anyone around Praying someone's searching Hoping you'll be found Need someone to care for you Can't do it on your own Looking for support Because you're feeling so alone Hardly any clothes on your back Living on the street Digging up in trash cans Trying find something to eat People giving rude remarks Taking pity on you Feel so segregated And there's nothing you can do Barefoot, dirty, and hurt Memories are all that's left Need to make some money Getting away with theft Your poor little soul's been abandoned All your friends have gone Family's not a resource Cause the rest of them moved on Now you're by yourself Unemployed and sick Only a miracle can save you Wishing you knew that magic trick Many people look down on you Wish they would be forgiving Don't know how to do anything But struggle for a living

Thank you, but hey stay up. (: If things are bad, just try to look ahead to the future, I know it must get sickening to hear that things will get better, but they will, and when they do, try to learn to appreciate every single moment possible! Do NOT lose hope.
