Harsh Reality

Harsh Reality

A Poem by Jeff

You have a job

A little mouth to feed

A pregnant wife

Cents in your pocket

Behind on your rent


What do you do with empty pockets?


Should you rob a bank

Can you sell drugs

Work two jobs until you drop

Spend days away from your family

Stuck in a lose-lose situation


What do you do with crushed dreams?


Once you dreamed of fame

Massive bank account

People screaming your name

Those days are long gone

Replaced with paycheck reality

Cold and empty world
