It's friday.
It's pay day.
The week's over and I bring in some revnue.  
Time to use this hard earned money
to live, provide, to continue to thrive.
Also it being the weekend and me not having to work,
I can do the things I want to do now.
I can enjoy a little time to myself.

Now I can live.
Right?

Wrong.

Reality soon hits
like a glass of spilled water
on a brand new laptop computer.

The realization of
bills to be paid,
more work to be done,
is a painful one
to someone
already suffering from
a chaotic life and societal blues.
    
Mr. Paycheck comes and goes
making you wait that much longer
to get the resources needed to reach your goals.
Ms. Weekend never stays
because her time's always spent
on more work for the weekdays.

For a moment your happy because
moments anticipated come.
It's odd.
We wait for those moments of joy,
for those specific moments to live,
yet waste the majority of our lives away
in moments unwanted.  
Why do we encapsulate our happiness into moments
then wait for those moments to come around?

Sigh.
These depressing thoughts slowly fade.  
They'll probably be back; no doubt about that.
But, since the moment's arrived
in which these thoughts no longer thrive
Now, I can live...
Right?
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Every payday is another question to whether I can do the things I want to do now, or if I'll have to wait longer, do more work, in order to proceed with my plans and goals.

In these instances life is very daunting.
