"Fear"
I fear the ring of the doorbell.
The result is the mailman with a registered letter.
The letter reads: "We have placed a lien upon your property, and the contents of your home will be placed for Sheriffs sale to be announced shortly."
I fear the ring of the doorbell.
The result is the Sheriff with the same letter, "Officially Serving Me."
I fear the ring of the doorbell.
The result is another registered letter from the mailman.
He looks at me with sad eyes.
The letter reads: "We have foreclosed on your property because of payment default. You will be served Official Notification from the Sheriff and have 10 days to vacate the above said location"

*"There's something happening here,
What it is ain't exactly clear,
There's a man with a gun over there,
Tellin' me, I got to beware."

Yes, that about sums it up.
I fear never coming out of this.
Things have gotten larger than life.
I am a strong Woman, a fighter if need be,
But I don't have any fight left.
It all comes down to the almighty buck,
And the lack of.
I am loosing my house.
I am losing my personal possessions.
I am loosing a lifetyme of stuff.
If they take my computer as promised,
There will be no more Spyder's Empire.
I am loosing my self-respect and dignity.
I am loosing me.
If not for my child,
I would have left this world long ago.
How can a Man walk out and leave his wife and child without a thought?
Pay not one penny to either of us?
Support?
What a freaking joke.
Welfare and food stamps.
I say to myself,
The only thing they can't take is my child from me.
However,
If I have no place to go,
Someone will call me unfit and take her to.

AUTHORS NOTES:
Someone please wake me up from this bad dream.
I am in a nightmare.
Problem is, I am living it daily.
