Daily hustles

"A dollar earned, a shilling spent."

The day's toll taken with weary eyes,

A lad is left to wonder, at the end shift, where it all went.

You may feel like you're walking this long and treacherous road alone,

Fret not of the future's uncertainty, for there lies a bigger reward that you will surely own.

A brighter future, bearing a sweet fragrance finer than any cologne.

Rise with the dawn and seize the days catch,

Just like an otter, swift and sly, with a hunger to dispatch.

Its struggles run deep, like the majestic Nile's flow,

Where resilience and cunning help the determined grow.

Bound by the provider's weighty and burdensome chain.

A fate forged through fire, with no near escape from the pain.

I am consumed by the curse with each passing day,

So I bicker in this verse to spell the darkness away.
