Minimum Wage

So little pay
for so much work.
I work till my hands
feel to bleed.
A meager six fifty
an hour for all my efforts.
Yet I can't seem
to get more.
I work my hands
down to the bone
But when I ask for a raise,
am always turned down.
They think for my age,
that is enough.
But do they forget
the rocketed gas price?
They might have enough
but I don't.
Minimum wage
just isn't enough.
I've tried to explain
why I need it so much.
Why I deserve the extra
just another dollar.
I tried to tell him
that I can't get it from mom.
Who seems to think
I should have enough.
And dad who won't
buy my clothes.
Because I have a job
to take care of it.
But minimum wage
just isn't enough!

| This was a good poem. It expresses how many of us who get paid next to nothing feel. |

I know how you feel. Work is a rat race, and it is impossible to get payed what you deserve. Just know your worth, and do not let anyone tell you different. Great write, I love your poetry, it is worth much more than minimum wage!!!!!!!!!!
