I'm putting this here to share with my faction to read, instead of spamming the Discord I prefer a simple link.

 

The struggles of growing up poor, living pay check to pay check at the age now to provide for myself as my parents once unto me now the coming of age.

Current

Struggles of a good job lost while more work sought

Pumping constantly repression in the spirit of thought

The hardened heart so heavy that it outweighs the brain

When the mind only has the willingness to stay sane

Failure is not an option and family is all that you've got

We can't afford breakdowns suck it up and learn pain

Emotionally strong as a rock is the way to be taught

When it comes to love and providing you get one shot

Have to stay clear headed to never quit or stop to whine

Keeping bread on the table and while setting the wine Using the tools for the job to put those hands to work

We have to eat things aren't cheap we have to survive 

Always fighting my parents never gave up all this time

Living pay check to pay check is rough it still works fine

Togetherness keeps them close they're still their prime

Struggling to make ends meet they never drop the ball

If I'm half the survivor they were for me I won't ever fall

Building myself as a foundation to grow stable and tall

If I'm lucky enough to conquer my fears once and for all
