Buyers in America

Buyers are very gullible.
The "limited edition" sign
Will get them almost all the time,
If they really want something.

The fear of it being "sold out"
And not being able to get something
Causes many to forgo other expenses
They should be paying first.

I say They,
But I have my weaknesses too.
Books, school supplies,
And stuff for my doll collection -
Those are my weaknesses.

But even I have limits,
That many, many others don't seem to have.

And yet, as a side note,
I have money in my savings,
That I *could* use at any moment,
While some spending have to wait until
Their next paycheck to even have the money.

Ah, Capitalism.
Greed is one of your fatal flaws.

Genius Kids

The school systems are just not designed for them,
When they get things after one or two times,
And the rest of us don't.

Also, the school system,
With it's "gifted" programs,
Give some a false sense of being intelligent,
And ironically does not cater to the geniuses.

In the Worst of Times

Even in the worst of times,
In the worst of the worst fights -
And there were a few -
I knew I would feel horrible
If I didn't make things right with my parents
And something really bad happened to them.

Also, I really want to be a Foster.

Lately

Lately I've been spending my days -
ALL my days off -
Sleeping or reading,
But mostly sleeping.

Partly because I take medicine that makes me tired,
(And I forgot last night, which meant
Today I was vividly LESS tired),
And partly because my visions are blurred.

By visions, I mean what I want to do with my life,
What to work on in my spare time.
Library books have made me focused on reading
In a timely manner,
But I need to do my passionate love: Writing.

So I kind of started again today -
Maybe finally I'm out of my funk.
But either way it's good to have today off,
Without medicine so I could get my drive back.

It will be a hard road but
I want to.

We'll see.
