Analysis of Hanging On
Tired of just hanging on
With nothing to do
And no way to do it
If I had something.
Nobody calls much, and
No one comes around to
See if ya still alive, or
Act as if they even care.
So here I sit, wasting my
time on here trying to Write
A new Poem that no one will
But Writing Poetry is
All I can really do now
All my strength is gone
And my Health to.
My Family is so far apart
That it's hard to see them
And some really just don't
Care anymore at all.
So I keep hanging on
Praying for a better way
And for my Family to
See the Light one day.
