We’re tired.
Fighting for our lives.
Non-Stop.
For Decades.
All to survive –
Damned:
Any notion of Thriving!
Starved.
Every way but bellies,
Living off peanut butter toast,
Cereal,
Packaged noodles.
Clawing forth.
Faceplanting Forwards.
We lived!
Barely!
By clenched teeth,
& cracked nails.
So tired.
