I’m once again feeling that overwhelming weight of life looming over my shoulders. Bills are piling up, food is scarce. I’m too poor to afford living but they tell me I’m too rich to qualify for assistance. I wake up every day hoping some miracle will be graced upon me. I’m not asking for too much, just a way to help me feel as though I am living rather than just surviving. Work doesn’t pay much and what it does disappears a few days later – after the weekend gives me a reprieve before the stacks of bills get taking out of my bank account one by one. Leaving me with a small sum to get me through the next two weeks – but it’s never enough, and the vicious cycle continues as I’m forced to use my credit card for basic necessities and the debt piles on, and on, and on…Will I ever get to experience the joys of life, or is this all that it has to offer me?
