a penny for your thoughts

I sit here feeling all of the weight of the world on my shoulders, wondering when things are going to get better so I can look up and see the sun. I'm a firm believer that when life gets us down its not so much a bad thing but more of a chance to learn something for the better and make us into what we will one day be. But sometimes its so hard to keep that out look. Its been one of those days where it feels like you have been holding your breath non stop, where I just feel so on edge and that just the slightest bit of wind will knock me over. But I keep going because I know that bad can only go for so long before everything no matter what it is starts seeming better than the current situation. But the worst of it seems to be coming from being completely broke. It sucks to see how much influence money has over someones life to where it makes us misserable. Money cant buy happiness but it certainly helps keep our spirits up. I dont want to be rich, i dont want a huge house I just want to be comfortable, I would love to be able to go out with friends with out wondering if i can afford it, I'd love to take out a girl at any time with having to wonder if its a probable or if i have to hope she stays single until next pay day. Id love to smoke a ciggarette and taste it, instead of tasting the staleness of each cent that its worth. But these things are inevitable and I accept it, but I think in these situations its deff better to look at the cup as half full because its a better value and I probably cant afford a refill.

A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
by: Cory Payerli

I watch my money fly away
to be apart of someone elses happiness
for who evers pocket it resides is closer to a smile
a smile of falsness, but a falsness that keeps the mind happy
but soon the money flys again and continues the chain
whether it be a child who can buy some candy
a teen a car
an adult a beer, a home, a spouse, a future
or a bank power
but my pockets are empty
so i guess ill just look at the beauty of the world
at least thats free
