College Bound Struggles-Poem

Waking up in the morning and making it to class is a struggle
Making good grades is a struggle
Living in this life is a struggle

Finding loose change
Living day after day with no money
Being surrounded by monopolies and societies dwelling on the fact that money is more important than anything

People put money on a pedestal
Making it so high
Higher the branches of the trees in the South America trees in paradise
Higher than quality of family time
Because of the long hours we work to provide
Higher than personal health, we have to decide
A college world of living check after check
Loan after loan
Writing hot checks,
Not knowing what’s next
Filing bankruptcy
And not having enough money to feed your family
When the irony is that money aint nothing but a creation from a tree

Then when you get out of school, you are playing the blues
Because you are already in debt
Because of the lack of grants
And over exercise use of loans
And you are left with all of this at 23 years old

Continuing this struggle as you get older
Few have chances to escape these burdens that is weighed upon each shoulders
They are able to become millionaires
But still it becomes a struggle
To keep all you own
To keep your fancy home
For you wont go back being broke like your just getting out of college trying to pay off loans

The situation is covered from everyone like aluminum foil
People are dieing left to right because of money
Not having enough for hospital fees
Dieing for the bling of someone else’s jewelry
Dieing to obtain hierchy in business
While people are not having enough money to feed the sick
As time continues to tick
Tick, Tick until life is seen as always being a struggle
But it isn’t something to reside in
Its something to escape from while being positive but even that will be a struggle
