If Only I Could Have My Way
Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of. — Josh Billings

I am feeling devastated I don’t know what to do, I want to scream to the ends of the earth; to release my anger and shame, to run away from all those after me.
If only I could have my way, I won’t be asking for help; I won’t be annoying anybody, most of all from a maddening app, much more so with its icky staff.
If only I could have my way, I won’t dare dream of being messed up; But do I have a choice? I’m pulling this off just to breathe, to let not my kins go empty.
Is this really fitting? When you owe someone; do you have to borrow, from somebody to pay it back? and then take up over and over again?
until your bills pile up, until your loans get jumbled, until your payday becomes; a horrible nightmare whereas; nothing is left to pay for all of it?
But who does really care? Whom will I turn to? Who will heed my pleas? my woes and blues, my bawls and burns?
I know you are there Dear God; Please make me tougher, Please tell me to hang on tight.
Please make me, more patient; Please clear my mind, from all those cobwebs of indifference.
to watch over those invisible leaks soon; Where do I spend aimlessly, hastily, and unmindfully?
I know I can handle this, I just have to be brave; I should stop sobbing, and promise to myself, I would be senseful, for there’s no one to turn to, but. only. You. Dear. God.
Note of thanks to Gary Westfal for his post on “Manage The Leaks”, which served as one of my inspiring resources, in writing this poetry.
