Everyday Stress

Expenses keep my pockets slim. No green paper trace, broke, I reach in and grab lint. My wallet suffers from Bullemia. Skinny, diseased, plagued to suffer. When is enough, enough. I work hard but my paychecks only go so far. Lately, my life has been rough. Too many bills, piled high.. Mountainous, the paper trail stacked high into the sky. Oh my!!!!

My wallet suffers from bulimia love that line mine does too, with writing like this your wallet shouldn't suffer from an eating disorder for too long! Keep writing this powerful poetry!

Such a fitting piece considering the economic mess we're in. The short lines work well to emphasize your thoughts. Good personification in lines 7/8. Keep on writing! Karen
