Eviction

You're being evicted. Get out do it without delay. Oh yes, I got kicked out my 
apartment in the cold month of February. Now all my money is spent, paying last 
month's rent.
Working on commission is hard you see.Returns, returns and more returns.How 
can I earn when the customers continue to return.So this is why I struggle to pay 
my rent. 
Now I'm living with my cousin and I spent much of my time fussing,about the 
strange things that go on in the night.I'm really stressed having no one to turn to.I 
fight to pray but I'm left with no words to say. So my spirit man intercedes for me.
 I get up in the morning with a tired and achy body,due to sleeping on the hard 
floor.This the second time this situation has happened to me.  
I continue to work on commission. Keeping my eyes open for better job 
opportunies. Chicago was a possibility, but I needed to move,moving 
money.Moving from place to place.
Shut the door to the secret things you used to do when no one was around.That 
would bring frowns to the people's faces if they would of caught you doing what 
you do.
Shut the door . Now you're mature.
