A Peot's Nightmare

[rubbanekk]

As times seem to always get harder
Just dont know when it all started
As time goes by days seem to get longer
I need to find a way to become stronger

I wish I knew when it all turned bad
Now everything seems so dam sad
I wish I could turn back the hands of time
But now all of this shit is making me lose my mind

I have grown into leading a rough life
Sometimes I just feel like taking a knife
When will I wake up and see the light?
I look in the mirror, All I see is fright

One day my son said "dad everythings gonna be alright"
I then decided, I wasn't ready to give up the fight!

How very familiar this sounds, distant memories brought forward. Thank you reminding me that there are better days if we just remain strong and don't give up....and how the truth comes from the mouth of babes......very nice, I enjoyed this. Thanks
