At the Pawn Shop

Lately my life has been pure hell
So it seems that now I must sell
Sell my belongings, sell my soul
Sell off everything
That is even slightly old
So to the pawn shop I go
For a little quid pro quo
Where my wallet will surely grow
God I hope so!

Pawn shops are made for desperate people. Nobody should ever be in that kind of situation. You have described everything well.

Cut your losses, set them free. Hug your crosses, let it be. Good luck in the contest April.
