Work in progress, a short poem about working hard to provide and barely making it


I have grown old,
little to show for what I've done.

Struggle each day,
To make ends meet and to provide.

I push forward,
In a stupor, I fall backwards.

The hope, it fades,
The chances I take, increase each day.

For their future,
I am worth more dead than alive.
