People are lonely, bored and love to gossip.
People hate when others try to go for success.
Tourist see only the pretty parts of my area.
They never see ghetto type buildings that need paint.

I'm stuck in a job with no chance to advance.
My landlord is businessman who's a slumlord.
The place I rent is in need of many repairs.
It's nearly New York type expensive to live in my area.

Can't afford a better place so I'm stuck.
I'm stuck at a job with no chance to advance.
People's bad attitude at life is depressing.
I'm not happy living in Northern Michigan at all!
Not really a poem, just words saying how I'm feeling after reading daily mean spirited comments about people who want success.

If I could afford it I would gladly move today.
I'm stuck in this ****** place with people who need educations and love to criticize, are content to work low paying jobs, drink at bars, cruise personals on Craigslist every day of their lives to hook up or get into quick relationships that don't last. The Christians and non Christians are so bored with their lives they love to spend time gossiping about people who are happy. Why can't Northern Michigan be Happy for anyone or make something of their own lives so they don't have to wish bad or criticize people who are minding their own business? Why can't the women of Northern Michigan get over petty jealousy of other women and stop trashing other women on rants and raves forum? Winter is coming and I'm not looking forward to being stuck on icy roads or snowed in with nothing to do but look at white snow. I've been saving money for a year to relocate by next summer I will have the funds to move to another state where it's warm and I visited a few years ago. That place was warm and the people had lives unlike the ones in Northern Michigan. I go to their region to read posts and I've never seen a post where anyone is slamming anybody for wanting a better life or aiming for success. Northern Michigan could learn a lot from people from other places who have lives. Anyone who wants to contribute to I WANT OUT OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN NOW FUND can contribute. Praying for someone to help me find a way to leave Northern Michigan fast because living here is driving me to the brink of insanity.

— The End —
