The Hell of Loans

I thought I was making

The right choice

Investing in the future

Building something of my own

A dream home with open windows

A yard to play in

But little did I know

I was signing my name to chains

Now each month, like clockwork

The bills hit the door

The numbers don't stop rising

They only ask for more

I wanted a life filled

With freedom and light

But the weight of this loan

Is stealing my nights

I see my family laugh

I want to protect that joy

But deep inside

I'm breaking under the burden

Interest climbing higher

And the finish line's a blur

Is this the price

Of the life I once dreamed?

This is the hell of loans

A never-ending chase

Working all day long

Just to stay in the race

There's no escape

No simple way out

I'm tied to this debt

And there's always doubt

But still, I keep walking

With hope in my chest

That one day this weight

Will finally rest

Cutting corners, saving pennies

Just to make it through

Living within my means

There's little else I can do

The car's running on fumes

The house is cold tonight

But the loan payment's steady

And it's taking every bite

I see the future growing distant

Moving just out of reach

Yet I keep grinding forward

'Cause quitting seems defeat

My kids need a home

They need a safe place to grow

But the price of this security

Is making me feel so low

They say the interest

Won't last forever

But it keeps climbing up

Every month feels

Like drowning in an empty cup

I try to hold my head high

But the struggle's wearing thin

The dream I once fought

For now feels like a sin

This is the hell of loans

A contract I can't break

Waking up each morning

To the same old ache

Working, sweating

Giving all I can

Just to keep standing

As a broken man

But still, I keep walking

'Cause I know someday

This weight will lift

And we'll find our way

Late at night

I look to the sky

Wondering if there's more to this life

These chains can't last forever

They must break apart

And when they do

I'll start fresh

With a lighter heart

But until that day

I'll keep moving on

Even when the journey feels so long

This is the hell of loans

But I'll see it through

For the smiles of my family

For dreams overdue

I may be tired, I may be worn

But through this fire

I'll be reborn

Still, I keep walking

With faith in the end

That one day this loan

Will no longer bend
