Jimmys Inspirations

There once was a time
When I wished I was older
When I had no worries at all
No responsibilities to shoulder

When things were more simple
And the days lasted forever
Thinking that when I grew up
Things would get even better

Then came the time
When I was old enough to work
I didn’t get to play as much
But a paycheck was one hell of a perk

Now I had money
To spend as I pleased
But no matter how much I’d make
It was only enough to tease

It seemed that everything I wanted
Was just out of my reach
And the bills started draining me
Like a blood hungry leech

Now I had no choice
Work was no longer an option
I needed to pay my bills
Or all I own would be up for adoption

So it’s been
since I turned 16
I could never look back
Never again has the slate been clean

I didn’t go to college
Because I didn’t like school
But if I had it to do again
I wouldn’t be such a fool

I’m now 45
And again starting anew
But to keep what I have
I’ll do whatever I must do

Hoping one day
At the end of my tunnel there’s light
I can’t give up if I want victory
In this never ending Fight!
