There used to be a day in life where I could hold my own
where I always had a secure job with money to fall on
where the economy felt safe no mater where you were or who you went to
there used to be a day when my paycheck was six-hundred and forty five each pay
there used to be a day when I lived on my own and did all on my on the way I was happy
now years down the line the economy and government has had a great fall
I haul out in my life not even being able to hold up my own door
where I can’t even get security in knowing that I can obtain a job of my own again
I used to be able to spend and buy with my own stash of cash
while still sitting upon a pile of it’s own
there used to be a day where no table’s lay unturned
where everything within my life was nice and done
now I sit here in rubbish and trash
of a life that is not my own
no safety making me feel comfort of my feet
trying to make all my ends in life meet
watching all I have left in life crumble more beneath my feet
nothin left for me to call a safe haven or safe place
trying to stay tall on my feet
living as a handicapped is not the life that I asked for me
with each difficulty in life and each difference that I have
something in life is always holding me back

Head up…always forward even if it’s just really small steps and the chains will fall away.
