I was not raised in religion,

But in feminine spirituality.

To my mother money is God.

To my mother money is power.

Second generation daddy issues

Passed down three times.

Words of wisdom repeated like psalms in a church house

"Romance without finance is a nuisance"

Three generations of divorcees.

Is this ***** power?

Taking on the burden of not selling myself short;

Financial happiness versus mental.

Feeling the guilt of sin

Having not betrayed The Creator

But rather my name, her face

Falling in love in with love

Despite its wallet.

Who wouldn’t want cheap kisses

Compared to an expensive heartache?
