This poem is about the experience of financial hardship and feeling isolated and alone.The
Oh I'm broke, i'm not dope
It feels like a stroke
This is not a joke
I am always feeling dizzy
I have no time to be busy
There's no one to choose me
They're not scared to lose me
I don't know why this is happening to me
They think I'm stingy
Being broke is not funny
Everyone needs money
I'm not in a good condition
I have no connection
It feels like a destruction
I need a solution
I need to overcome this situation
I'm not heartless, yes it's not right
I'm in darkness, yes i need light
This is getting worse, since Twenty-Twenty
My pockets are always empty
I'm different from many
God, help me through this journey
Oh I'm carrying a heavy load
I'm always feeling cold
I don't even have the money to pay rent
I'm just living without a cent
I know this is so strange
I just found myself on this land
It's not my fault that things are starting to bend
I wish one day things can change
Oh lord, check my banks
Later on, I'll say thanks
