Overwhelmed and Underpaid

It's been a rough day

How many more days

can we blame Mercury Retrograde?

And with the recent Solar

Eclipse, another soul shifting

celestial event.

I've hit my wall (of desperation).

Not sure where to go, what to do.

Work was chaotic.

Home life is just as chaotic.

Poetric reprise. IYKYK.

We are losing more money

than we are earning. So sooner

or later, we need to find another

source of Income.

Sell the house? Maybe.

What else can we do before

we have to cross that bridge?

Again and again and again,

trusting no one. Everything's

a scam.

Vultures in the midst.

Waiting to take advantage.

About the Creator

Nicole C

Writing sporadically... I tried some challenges but never won anything. Sometimes my poetry helps me process whatever has been going on... sometimes it is pure fiction. Sometimes I like to write about pop culture and astrology.
