I'm Tired

Brittany Wilson 1988 (Milwaukee, WI)



Working 9-5 & go broke every pay period,
Car consistently breaks down & I go broke to get it fixed,
Repairs need to be done on my house out of my pocket,
I'm Tired.

Kids' school needs tuition,
Daycare needs money,
Grocery stores need money,
I'm Tired.

Senior Living needs money,
Gas stations need money,
Department stores need money,
I'm Tired.

$2,000 goes a short way throughout the game of life & I'M TIRED!!!
