Lost in Debt's Way

A poem I made for a class in finance.

As I fumble for words to make my thoughts known

I dream of numbers as though they are thrown.

Imperative thoughts of mindless yearnings

My business falls for I have earned nothing.

Covered in debt that leads to my demise

The pitiful woman that was so sure to rise.

 

I gape into the starless sky

Dreaming of things that could have been.

My financier for life has deserted me

She’s failed me once, failed me twice,

And left me be.

 

Left alone I struggle at my loss.

I crumble in defeat for how can I stand?

She left me in crumbles of that I can’t even begin to comprehend.

 

I need her to fix things

Or all else will fail.

Damn never thought an accountant was so important.

 

All façade is lost where to begin?

I need a new accountant to do my accounting.

Very powerful, and close to me. "My financier for life has deserted me" so true. Great work.
