Making Rent Poem by Saqib Hussain, author of Contemplate and Sweet Bird

I don't know if we can make rent my love
This month's going to be pretty tough
The stress has impacted my sleep a bit
Waking up these days feeling rough

Still have all these debts to pay
The challenge to pay them like a wall
So hard to climb, we need to cut back
My belt pulls tighter another hole

Let's not tell the kids though my love
Don't want to worry the little ones
Let's be practical and optimistic
Hopefully things improve before long

And there's lessons we can learn from this
There were many things we bought on credit
Next time we see something we can't afford
Let's not buy it, just walk past, forget it

Let's not give up, we may still make rent
With positive changes things will get brighter
And I won't give up, no, not me
You see, my love, I'm a fighter
