Where's My Rescue Package? |

WHERE'S MY RESCUE PACKAGE? Short sightedly I hit "Apply Now." I thought I'd be rejected like a manuscript. Nothing gained, nothing lost. A couple'o grand instead of a couple'o hundred. I had never known that kind of money. But that's no excuse, just because. A credit increase to fund a lifelong dream. Yet the ambition quickly faded away, when I couldn't cope with another job. I, as a man with next to no eyesight, have conceded defeat to society so blind. Now, my predicament matters not. I stated my case to them, I pleaded with them. But after all things considered, they still didn't listen. And even though I have signed my debts away. I have not signed away these darkest of days. |

turbulent_melody, When reading this I felt despair. But I have found in life that things change for the better when one least expects it. Wishing you well... BC |
