Sold Out


   The yard sale was great.
   Sold everything in my place.
   Now to start over new.
   Influencers tell me what to do.
   Have a need for food, shelter, and clothes.
   They say that's not the way to go.
   Buy products online,
   Thats cheap and refined.
   Use a credit card,
   Get whatever you want.
   Paying the bill is just an affront,
   Go to thrift stores for a better jump.
   What you want and need,
   May be different indeed.
   I can't fry my eye lashes to eat,
   Hair products can't keep me warm.
   Tattoos won't make a room for you.
   No place to keep all my stuff that was cheap,
   Live in a car with no place to sleep!
