From room to room she paces. It's time now, to end her lies. In shreds around her, lies her life, as tears fall, from her green eyes. She knows, she can not make it, the bills have piled too high. The stress has finally taken it's toll, as she slips to the floor and cries. This humble home is all she has, It's her shelter from the cold. There’s no way out, what can she do? Toss in her hand and fold? She's tried so hard to make ends meet, with the wolves pounding at her door. But now she's tired of fighting it all, there's no where to turn anymore. As she sits there crying, a rage starts from deep within. "Damned, if I'll give up" she says, "If I loose it, I'll just start again"! Once more she starts to pace the rooms, ideas racing through her head. "I'll never give up", she mutters, as she prepares herself for bed. She knows not what tomorrow holds, but there’s one damn thing that’s certain. 'It's not over till the fat lady sings, and she sees the drop of the final curtain'! If you can't make it so, you need to let it go! |

I do like the fighting spirit of this...and when someone even casually suggested that I wasted my life...my reply was, "it ain't over!" Never underestimate the power of the human spirit...well done, m'friend. |
