Life on Elm Street

L ife on Elm Street is hardship and heartache for my family

I nherited this house some ten years ago wish we would have let it go

F or our own sake for it just isn't worth the sacrifices we have made

E ach of us tried our best to make this shack into a home

 

O nly to run into problems finding it wasn't worth renovation

N ot worth the emotional and financial price we have to pay

 

E lm Street has turned from a nice neighborhood into a ghetto area

L eaving us at high risk of crime and we are scared all the time

M y family is hard working and deserves so much better than this

 

S tress is an everyday word and we can't even think about selling it

T he house is substandard and so in need of work to get it up to code

R efurberishing is such a heavy burden our hearts carry a heavy load

E verything is falling apart and we may soon become homeless

E lm Street has become a curse on us a living nightmare we must endure

T his is what life on Elm Street is like and how we foresee the future

This is a sad, sad poem (good, but sad). If this is a true story, then I'm sincerely sorry that things are so bad. I hope things are better soon.

On the other hand, if you just spun this out of nowhere, well done! I'm almost in tears from reading this! Hope you're well!
