Financial Frustration
Bills Bills Bills
More like mountains instead of hills
Think I’ll end it all with a bottle of pills
Well that’s jus nonsense on the page
But these bills have me caged
Barely making more than minimum wage
Surely you understand my rage
Paid one and then half of the other two
Swear that was all that I could do
And then came a fourth like a blizzard from the north
Freezing cold…like rolled steal
Will someone put these bills on chill…
Phone and lights, water and heat
Damn…guess tonight ill have to eat cheap
Life, home and car are so subpar
I thought insurance was supposed to give reassurance
And don’t let me get started on the taxes
Cause late payments got sums at their maxes
Current balance is becoming so hard to see
My time might be up…lets jus call it bankruptcy

Preach, brother! This is a sad reality, and the stress of always having to pay something doesn't allow us to enjoy life. Something's got to change.
Great poem, and it's nice to see you back here!
