16. Proud Of Doing It The Hard Way
I'm angry with my nan for passing this down to the next generation.
She likes to say it with a strange inevitability in the tone of her voice,
'You've had a hard life,' or 'you've done it the hard way.'
I'm angry because I've had a very hard life, they made sure of it.
Now I can't seem to stop doing it 'their way' or 'the hard way'.
I can't seem to crack the code to easy living.
Don't know how much longer I can last.
Also, I'm frightened of lasting too much longer. |
