Mourning Morning

I am alive and breathing,
this much is true.
I lived in my father's house and
later found safety in my husband's house.

My boring breakfast lightly
scorches my tongue.

I find clean clothes to wear.
Off to work.

I'm always tired and helpless.
The price tag for getting older

never ceases.

If I'll ever enjoy anything in my life,
it's when life makes me more cents.
