I’m sick of this life.
I’m sick of being told “I don’t know what to tell you”
I’m sick of living off of $200 a pay period
I shouldn’t have banked on something good happening this week
The being that laughs at my suffering
Will enjoy the next few weeks
2 months
Because it’s not actually two months, see, because he’s evicting me with February included in the time span, I lose 2 days of being here
Isn’t circumstance wicked?
I needed something positive this week
But one thing after another slipped out of my hands
Went with, in a 48 hour period, 2 protein shakes, 2 single serving chicken pot pies, some cookies, and 2 mini pizzas
And I’m just expected to be okay with this
I’m just expected to exist like this
To want to
I’m so used to things not going right
And then I’m pounded with these messages to keep believing, just believe
If you don’t believe in it, it won’t happen how you want
But when I believe
Like I kind of believed this house would be my home for a long time
I’m proven wrong
And then I’m wrong for not believing
Why is there no way to beat the awfulness in my life?
I need help
And I have tried
I’ve written thousands of posts
Put my ko-fi out there, predeceased by three other donation options that never made a cent
Made a Facebook page
My best is never good enough to make it in this world
I need
I need so many things
I guess it’s hard to read about someone else
I don’t know
I’ve never been
Producible
There’s no draw to me
Not buyable
Not sellable
Just, not even mediocrity, but failure
I can’t even afford my own food
I’m eating chicken pot pie every night
Little single serving
I haven’t had lunch, except for on this last New Year’s Eve, in years
I eat nothing and yet I’m obese
I just want to rules that apply to everyone else to apply to me
I want to have the ability to live comfortably
Of course
They’ll be taking that away from them soon
A trillionaire eh?
It makes me sick that there is someone on this planet, without shelter, without food
Someones
While there is a man with the fortune of 100 people living at the same time
Yet it’s normal
I’m not even as poor as I could be
My parents buy my food and no matter how depressing and awful that food is I’m grateful
I’ve got a person who randomly tosses $5 in my ko-fi and even though I literally can’t do anything with it besides buy dumb cheap things, I appreciate it, I’m grateful
Asking for more of anything goes against my comfort
I feel like I don’t deserve to
The government propaganda about people being on benefits being less deserving and thus rightly regulated to poverty has gotten to me, at least in my own case
I know I’m unworthy
I know that no matter how hard I try I will never be enough for this world
While simultaneously being too much
Because why not be both all the time?
Oh Duo
Duality
Simplicity
Complexity
But the thought that others have to go through this
I’m not alone
Millions have it worse
That haunts me
Doesn’t it haunt them?
It’s the loneliness getting to me again probably
Alone
And trapped in a life I couldn’t have imagined
I don’t know how everyone on PWD isn’t on the streets, double so for IA.
You know, I don’t care if the way you grant my wish for a home I never have to leave is to kill me before I have to leave this one
If that’s your last gotcha
If that’s your last “we fulfilled your wish, but…”
I don’t want to do this anymore
This year after year slow trip further and further down the poverty hole
I’m done
I want to give up but I’m afraid
So do your worst, I guess
