Family can be so generous at times
Their contribution makes all the difference
I am truly grateful for the gift of family
I still struggle to stand on my own two feet
This life can be harsh and cruel
And tough on the wallet
When housing costs more than half
Of the income you manage to get
When in fact the roof costs all that you have
Every month every week and every day
Each time you spend you drain a back hole
The thought of buying something for yourself
Makes you weary and so full of guilt
And you blame yourself
