Horror Rage Tears

The words of being robbed

Stolen from.

All the money I had gone.

No money for food

No money for the doctor

No money for meds

To keep the demon at bay

Helpless

Is how I feel

Helpless and angry

Like I want to punch something

Someone somewhere.

I feel worthless

Impotent. Like I can do

Nothing. Nothing nothing!

I hate the person who did this

Stole my money, stole my stability

All my money for the month

All that I had. Gone Gone!

And even if I got it back

It would not change

The rage I feel
