Emptied Pennies of My Family
The sound of whispering began to fill my endless January thoughts,
My once assured mind ended up in knots
My mother's necklaces began to disappear
My father's every glance at the door was traced with fear
Our financial misfortunes soon began to pop my naive bubble
I spent June accepting my family's growing trouble
Anxiety grew like moss inside my body and surrounded me
So I laid in a field of insecurity undeath the only tree
I witnessed the same sky as the day before
It occurred to me that it had never changed during my inner war
November said its' hello before I truly knew
That I could not face another year living in only the darkest hues
I would stand upon my two feet to pull away some of my family's woes
Show that an empty bank account does not represent someone who is low
Money could no longer weigh the soul in each heart
And while nothing was stable we still felt less torn apart
Every penny costs more than it is worth
So I emptied all them out and begun my rebirth
