Help Poem by Lydie Mathers

How can it be that we try so hard and yet everything we have built is falling apart?
It burns me up inside and it's killing my heart
I used to say that every thing would be alright we would find a way
I don't think I can say it any more not after today
We struggle and scrape and still we fall behind
It's eating away at me and there is no peace of mind
You work hard as you can every day
Only to have others pull you down and get in the way
I deal with the kids screaming and the bills piling up more
Together we stress as we fall further and futher away from the shore
In a sea of debt and no way out
We are drowning and sinking I have no doubt
We make light of it to friends and family as best as we can
Some say they understand
But not really truely they don't
They don't understand that our last stand might just have to be finally giving up no matter how we say we won't
It is to the point for you and me
That the kids may have to move on with other family
When did we do something in our lives that was so wrong
I'm scared and I'm tired I'm drained and I hurt what's the point in being strong
God in heaven Please hear me tonight
What ever we did wrong give us a chance to make it right
Help me stand up I can't fight any more
I am demolished and devestated lying on the floor
