A waking dream


A. lost my job got no money left to pay,

B. drowning in a sea of panic and worry,

A. seems like the clouds are heavy and grey,

B.  bang on the door calling out to hurry,

C. a figure of darkness a man dressed in black,

D.  tells me something that shakes me to the core,

C. boxes are ready to leave in a stack,

D. got to keep going heading to the door,

E. hope it can make a change and start anew,

F. my phone is ringing I want to ignore,

E. telling me I should answer so I do,

F.  a job offer will help more than before,

G.  after tough times hope is a waking dream,

G.   a nightmare what a struggle it has been
