Life has never been easy on me

Life has never been easy on me.
Thats why I learned its better not to need noone.
Nobody never did nothing for me.
I've been working since I was fourteen
and I never took a ride that was free.
I always paid my way.
Sometimes it was with my blood and my tears
but I never sacrificed my dignity,
not in all of my years.
Life has never been easy on me.
At times all I had, was my pride,
but I pushed every hand away,
I refused to take any handouts.
I found its better this way.
That way you don't owe nobody a thing.
So excuse me if I seem bitter,
but nothing was ever handed to me.
I've had to fight for my life,
Because life has bever been easy on me.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
