Do you know what it's like, to have your whole world turned upside down and not know which direction to turn> I Do. Do you know what it's like to feel as if your heart weights 15 lbs. full of love, anger and thinking it's gonna stop beating any time? I Do. The days seem short but the nights so long and I haven't even accomplished anything. Why? Because I have tried hard so many times in my life as a single mother, but fall back down in a deep hole, trying to crawl back out. Seems every person or thing I love passes away or leaves. Do you know what it's like to be in the middle or a puppet on a string...just trying to help the ones I have left to love? I Feel Hopeless. Do you know what it's like to be afraid to laugh anymore, knowing it won't last long? Do you know what it's like to be lucky enough to have a meal with you family, while our politicians and wealthy are eating steak and caviar? I DO! I've paid my share of taxes. If I get a raise on ssi of $3.00-it's taken off of some other small benefit, which equals out the same. But still they take and take until theres noway out. Do you know what it's like to be afraid to go to bed at night, because your brain works overtime, trying to think of a way or just being so stressed out? I Do. Then when sleep does come....morning arises your scared to get up? I Am. There's no-way that I can get anywhere, unless I sprout wings and fly. That I or no-one else will evr master. Take a walk in my shoes and others like me( all you wealthy and politicians) that have sold America and our jobs out to other countries. Better yet, TAKE A LONG WALK IN MY FATHER'S WORK BOOTS, WHO HELP PAVE AND BUILD THE ROADS OF AMERICA. And others like him. But you may get dirty with the mud, blood, sweat (no tears) for they were called MEN! Real Americans do not let houses stay vacant, while families remain homeless. Nor do they let their fellowman and children go hungry. I wonder when you lay dow you head at night in your nice pillow.....does it bother you that a lot of families are suffering. And Yes, WE NEED JOBS not PITY. To: the politicians and the ones..who have more money than brains. Aprilrain
