I would love any comments and any critism thank you:)
This is a poem i wrote for my english class he told us to write it from the heart/experience.
Struggle
People say they know struggle
Honestly most people don't know
what the struggle really is.
Struggle isn't complaining because
you dont have enough for the new shoes
The struggle is
her clenching stomach
the wondering if,
theres gonna be food at home
trying to eat enough bread before school,
because she dont have money to get food at school.
Going home opening that fridge
already knowing there's nothing there.
Her stomach hurts so bad she looks anyway
Laying in bed at night hoping that
when they get paid they have enough money
to make it to at least next pay day
The struggle is
wearing the same 2 pants every week
washing them everyday
hoping no one will notice because
she aint got enough cash to buy more
the struggle is pain
not pain from not getting what you want
but pain
of not having what you need.
Thats what the struggle is.
