Debt

A poem about debt - told from the perspective of a struggling protagonist.

I’m done with these Chains, obligations and corporate stipulation.

I Long to be free from this prison of ownership,

Not slaving away for another’s gain despite my own situation.

I remember when all the world seemed bright and inside my grip.

But now, alas, where did I begin to lose my way?

When did the importance of what I sought to gain

Surpass the value of having true freedom each day?

No more to Debt. Come, strive to break this chain.

To live free and focus on what really matters.

(Family, health, and duty among other things)

And as debt's threat dissipates and shatters,

I’ll remember why I got out, and the peace it brings.
