Am I alone?


Is there anyone out there?

I worry of my future

What will be left for me?

environment, jobs, money

it seems only the rich get richer

and have all the opportunities

my family is middle class

and losing ground quickly

in this economy

I must go to college

but the expense of it

could make me broke.

I am stuck in the middle

where there is no assistance

because I am not poor enough -

ha! I will be after one year of college!

Yet I am not rich enough to count on

parents or connections that open doors of opportunities.

I work hard and it's hardly working.

Am I alone?
