A Father’s Worry

Tough Times

By Dalton “Statz” ClinePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

There is fear

Every day that I can see

I worry so much for my family

There are so many vultures

Just wanting to prey on me

Hunt me down

Instead of helping me

It is crazy, it is insane

How life can be this way

The way it treat us

Give us good times with no sorrow

Only just to reverse backwards tomorrow

Sounds right, am I wrong?

I am struggling

Hopelessly tired

Praying, Waiting

Wishing it will all work out

But I’d be lying if I wasn’t scared

There’s little scraps around

All I see is pain

Don’t they see

I am in need

I’m begging help me

Please
