Rent.
My head is behind on the rent
The eviction notices never end
Overflowing
Choking me
Smothering me until I can't breathe.
The lights are out
and the bills aren't paid
it's been months
a few weeks
or days?
too long to be sure.
My fridge is empty
my ribs are bare
my cheeks are hollow
and I'm losing my hair
There isn't any water
So I can't wash away
the pain of today
and yesterday
I'm so cold
and my fingers are blue
my heart is black
and numb
at this point
my entire being is done
I'm going under
there's no hope
I have reason
to not swing from this rope
So please remind me
just one more time
that you believe that ill survive.
