Hard Times

By San d

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

"Hard Times" Been through life with the choices I've made. Been through hard times, been down and afraid. Just me and my children. No money, no job. Alone in my solitaire I wanted to lay down and sob. Not too many choices that were destined for me. Had to hold my head up. Stand on my own two feet. No car, No cash, No sitter and No one to turn too. Life was a hell hole making me miserable. Holding on to my babies is what kept me strong. Made me stick to the right choices instead of doing wrongs. Could have taken the wrong path. Could have just ran and gave in. Could have turned to the drugs. Could have wound up in the pen. All the choices I made were out of self pride and respect. I dealt with the hands that I found in my deck I stand tall now with the choices I chose. I stood with dignity! Got my life back in controll. Sometimes looking back at those hard times in need. Knowing it made me stronger and made me determined to succeed.
