expensive

i’ve emptied my pockets of every last dime 
my actions wreaking havoc all of the time
every step i took i look back with dry amusement 
how pathetic is a person whose feedback is only disappointment?

here…every last coin is paying for my moves
and it’s not even considered if my smiles are way overdue 
don’t think i make enough money for this 
i’m a broke(n) woman just filling out checks 

i’m gonna make them out to “this is rich” 
and sign my name “impoverished”
there’s too much debt here and i don’t meet the demand 
this world shines like a treasure but dulls in my hand
