This is a reverse poem about debt — a piece you can read top to bottom in despair, and then bottom to top for hope
💬 The Poem
I’m deeply stuck in credit card debt.
So don’t try to convince me
I will rise above these bills.
Because at the end of the day,
I see no relief from these interest charges.
And I’m not going to lie to myself by believing
A clear financial path is in my future.
So rest assured, I will keep telling myself:
I’m overwhelmed and sinking further.
And nothing you say will make me think
I will regain control.
Because no matter what,
I will never overcome these balances.
And I am in no state to hope
Financial freedom is possible.
Because whenever I check my statement, I think:
Will I ever escape this burden?
