Everything’s dark in this lonely world. Dismal silence permeates the house. No one seems to exist No hope, it is just gloom and I. Is it merely a state of mind? Perhaps a darkened mood. All that runs through my mind is a world that seems quite doomed. No financial wizard will wash away the tide of ebbing debts and bad credit washing upon my private shore The Bills are piling higher No relief in sight. The rent should have been paid on the first of every month But I stretch and bend the rules everytime right up to the 5th. Then the children plead and beg for things- simple little pleasures (God! The guilt of saying No, we simply can not afford) The old tin can of change is empty here there is no more to tap And yet the bills are piling in a heap with no relief. Still I press myself each day to get up and go to work without a sign of hope Still no bills can be paid and I ask what am I working for? (Soft sobbing) Who will take care of me? And chase the bad feelings away that have washed upon my shore? KdW, Copyright 3/8/00 |

Everyday for us something new. Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters. --Metallica |

Thank you all very much for your replies, comments and warm thoughts. This is not my best writing.. it is not intended to be. This is raw emotion and I needed an outlet. As crazy as it sounds, knowing I am not alone with these struggles and reading your warm thoughts..... makes a difference and really helps! Kim |
