Everything in shambles

Hasan Johnson 1980 (Peoria Illinois)



Apartment falling apart
Car falling apart
Relationships fell apart
My Lord
May I say the Lord’s Prayer and hope for the best or do I get discouraged because stress won’t let me rest
Toss and turn when I try to sleep
I’m almost convinced that rest is for the weak
The meal shall inherit the earth
But who gone inherit these bills
They keep coming
Health falling apart
Finances fell apart
Thought about a means to an end
But If I wake up tomorrow
I’ll start all over again
Who moved my cheese
