Unpaid Bills

Backbone crushing experiences break the man Cemented footsteps of the frustration prevent him to stand Let along walk See the timid speech protruding from his mouth as he talks I don’t know if that’s the harshness of life or love that Breaks off a mans spine Keeping his dreams vertically inclined So many suffer from the issue of straining their backs Cold to a new life because scarcity of ice packs Such a cold reality Freezing a world molded mentality So many people struggle with severe back pain But we let our situations remain the same No job, no hope, no dreams, no family, no supporting team One blade of grass is green when all the rest are yellow, budding, blooming showing its rose pedals Why must some of us at other peoples expenses hurt So we can show the real people hurting their truth worth Broken hearts are like broken backs We are torn when all the rest of our ligaments are intact We bleed we scar, we heal, we fall, we spill But no respecting individual pays the hospital bills So his hurt pumps without him saying a word clearly spoken But now his whole being because of one aches truly broken.
