Hard enough days

Some days just getting by is hard enough

Struggling to survive this tough, rough life

Working out an existence, resistant

To all the hardships we have to endure

The physical and the mental stresses taking their toll

Trying to keep the warmth in

The cold permeating all around

Like the smell of the soup we eat to get us through

And when asked if this is really true

By the well off likes of you

I sigh a little, cry a little and die inside a little

For you’ll never know this life and how it is.
