Surviving

Paycheck to paycheck.
My life is a literal train wreck.
I'm not tired of trying.
I'm just tired of fighting.

Numerous bills and endless stress.
How do I even clean up this mess?
An unhappy marriage and a broken home.
I'm convinced that I can't do any of this alone.

Two parents are supposed to be better than one.
Too bad when they're angry it's like a war zone.
Screaming and crying with no communication.
Physical violence with no hesitation.

There is no teamwork, so they don't move forward.
Taking one step forward and three more backward.
Bills spread throughout checks with no room for rent.
Stupid shit is where most of one's money is spent.

Doing it alone, but with company.
Getting a home is an unaffordable luxury.
This isn't living.
It's just surviving.
