Bottomed Out Or Not

Bottomed out or not...
Don't let the feeling of this stop you.
Keep your hopes held up high.
Don't give into ruts.

It's not easy pinching pennies,
To be squeezed.
And feeling sour like a lemon juiced,
On your knees.

Believe there's many reasons,
To remove yourself from ropes.
Be free of them and loosen.
Just don't give up hope.

It's not easy pinching pennies.
But do pinch them in a need.
Even with your pockets empty...
You don't have to grieve.
