Grind

Pulling 12-hour days and taking extra shifts

is so worth is at the end of the month

when I visit my sister and her baby boy;

when I'm able to help out.

Even just a little because Daddy's losing his job

and I need to be there for them.

I'll kill myself

and sell my soul for ten dollars an hour

just to make sure my family back home eats.

My family
