I bumped by head when I got out of bed this morning-
and not for lack of coordination.
I was late to class but still made it there before the professor,
and I have more finals than I can count on both hands due next week.
The bills are piling up, and there's nothing I can do.
Off to lunch with friends, and then to work on a project.
I haven't seen a doctor in four years, and I can't afford to go.
I rearranged my dorm so I can find my clothes easier. Now they're in rainbow order!
I haven't bought new clothes in so long that they don't fit anymore.
We took a trip to get wine today-
but we broke down on the way back and now I have to call a tow truck. Yet another bill.
It's 3 am and I'm trying to finish this paper before it's due at 8 am- something about a curriculum? I don't remember anymore. I'm just putting words on paper.
I've been off my meds for months now because they cost more than I can afford. What can I afford? $0.00
My hallmates will not shut the **** up, and I need to study for this exam.
I can't afford to live off campus so I have to deal with it.
I'm 21, but most people still treat me as a child.
I can buy my own wine but I can't make my own decisions.
I can buy my own wine, but I can't afford to.
