what's a breadwinner to do

what's a breadwinner to do
when he can't seem to win enough bread?

when doubt & depression
run roughshod all through his head

when he sees his children
he thinks they'd be better off
were he dead

when he reaches out
only to find silence & dread
when he calls out
only to hear nothing but
the voices in his own head?
