Tape

Broken toys held together with tape,
A poor family just getting by,
No funds for a boy's innocent luxuries,
I stuck another piece of tape on,
And found my happiness among the parts,

But a man's happiness is not as simple,
My tape can no longer solve my problems,
Frantically trying to hold myself together,
As I slip away.
