Now I have hope, instead of dope.

P.S. Yes! I hope I enjoyed reading this as much as you did in writing it because it was written so hopefully!
Have stopped sliding down the slippery slope.
Living and learning with my motivation,
Not ducking and diving in desperation.
Finally found my vocation.
Now my life is moving forwards
Or onwards and upwards
Just not backwards!
Being poor - I'm a bit of a bore,
when it comes to cash I could do with more!
I do not aspire to lots of stuff
True my humble abode is a bit rough
But then I only want just enough.
To live a life that's full and good
With family friends and good food
I only want just enough, not too tough.
But sometimes the world of pounds and pence
To me does not make much sense
So am I just dense?
Not having money isn't very funny!
I want to live in the land of Milk and Honey.
Where I can relax and have fun
Maybe a holiday in the sun
Instead of wanting to run away
And wishing to come back another day
Then I wonder if I need a boyfriend
But I realise in the end
My heart and soul only I can mend
Some days my life is not so easy
My worries make me feel quite queasy
So I try to Bee very busy
To keep my nagging doubts at bay
Until they come back another day
To cope, I find, this is the only way.
Of my family I think all the time,
Even when penning this rhyme.
With them I really feel as one,
Not wrong about the things I've done.
Behind me is my life of crime,
I've payed up and done my time.
Now I'm living like a nun.
Some days it's hard being me
But the truth I've earnt sets me free.
