Just Like Me



Just Like Me..
Income Guidelines & Red Tape,
As You Your Family Sinks & You  Fall on Your Face.
So I Fight This Battle Alone & Long Ago I learned to Stand Alone.
I'm Stronger Then Any I Reached Out Too,
And I will make it Without Any Of You.
As Our World Falls Apart,
I sit here this morning & Know I'm The One Who Is All Heart.
That's my Towns Moto You See,
Not So Much When it Come To My Family.
I BELIEVE  IN MYSELF,
I will Save My Family & Repair My Health,
As You Sit There Looking Down From Your Thrones,
I Feel & Know I am Strongest Alone.
I can't count the the Times I lost It All,
Yet I Go Stronger & Wiser With Every Fall.
So For Those Out There Just like Me,
Know That you can make, In US I Believe.
They May Look At US Like We Are Scum,
Yet we Support Each Other & Do Not Run.
So Fight Your Demon , Fight For Your Fucking Life,
For That Demon Will Try To Break Free Night After Night.
A Society That Puts $$ Over Human Life,
Trust Me, I have Only Just Begun This Fight.
DONT GIVE UP
