Overdue Bills Bills Bills

A long day at work bills piling up high I just wanna sit down and cry,cry,cry. My water bill is one hundered twenty one bucks I really wanna ask is water this much. The babysitter decided to quit today I owe her a whole three weeks pay. Oh! how I need my lights to read and write. They turned me off right in the middle of the night. Creditors are trying to call my number but the phone is disconnected and it won't be on until December. Damn! I'm so overdue sometimes it will be cheaper to live like the woman in the shoe. Can't get a loan not until the next ten years. I still owe them back pay from the last past five years. Struggling isn't at all easy it can bite you in the butt and give you a good beating. Borrowing money is way out the question. I owe so many people they are ready to start fussing. Overdue is all my bills that are unpaid. I just wanna enter myself in the house for the insane! I just have to take one day at a time and learn to pay my bills right on the dime.

Life

The planting of the seed to the blossoming of the rose. The whisper of kept secrets and the loudness of talk.  I dance with your glory and thankfulness. I tread very carefully on cracked gravel that is laid under my steps.  You let me walk with the sun beaming on my color and the moon giving me a streak of silver. So precious you are. I hold you gracefully and carefully.  Being giving so much my basket of joy is pouring out love and prosperity, with trails of kisses and hugs. i am wrapped with your jealousy and not the fear of your ending. Damn! It's so sweet to the core of the taste another side that makes a face. I learn from you and will never take you for granted.
