Adulthood

How do I have nothing,
Yet everything to lose,
Not knowing how to save myself,
Left feeling confused.

Whilst I'm not working,
I feel like a bum,
Lazing around all day,
Getting nothing done.

But if I work my arse off,
I must work for low pay,
Waiting a whole week for a wage,
That won't last a day.

There's money for bills,
Like electric and rent,
But with nothing left over for food,
My overdraft is spent.

Yet the Government complains,
If we're unemployed too long,
But once you've found work,
Then the help is all gone.

So they expect us to struggle,
Like we've nothing better to do,
Though I bet they couldn't do it,
Cope with what we go through.

You can only penny pinch so much,
Before you inevitably go insane,
Working hard or hardly working,
Adulthood is such a pain.
