Before my bootcamp journey into the world of software development I tried to learn a little bit on my own. Everyone everywhere would say that Python is the best language to learn when you begin your…
You want to know about shame
I’ll tell you about shame
When you tell the nurse you don’t have insurance
medical or otherwise
When it’s colder inside than out
and you tell your child you’ve chosen
electricity over gas because it’s better to see
what you don’t have
than warm to the idea of it
When the food stamps arrive
When you don’t get the job
again
When you meet your husband’s child
who is two years younger
than your anniversary
I’ll tell you about shame
When admissions asks about your tuition
and you agree to call your parents again
because you’re sure it’s on the way
despite what was said
the last time
When you’ve been unemployed for three years
and there’s no pandemic to use as an excuse
When you don’t get the job
again
When you have to actually use the food stamps
When the amount in the bank account is smaller
than the amount on the red notice
When there’s more than one red notice
When foreclosure seems the more viable option
since you can’t afford even the water in the faucet
which is gonna freeze anyway
because you can’t pay for heat
with stamps
When all you own fits in a 5 x 5 room
that’s not yours
at this age
When your best friend forgets your birthday
again
When that’s your best friend
When your every submission is rejected
again
When you don’t love yourself enough
to let someone else even try
You want to know about shame
I’ll tell you about shame
sing you a song about an ocean you can’t afford
Here it is now
riding in like a wounded cowboy
eyes steeled against you
looking for a place to lay low
I’ll tell you about shame
That motherfucker
Just based on what I have seen on the Stats portion of Medium I have seen that five out of my nine posts received some views. The post that received the greatest amount was my introduction post that…
A short SciFi story of how even an eternal being must beware of gifts being granted, as they may be twofold
This was the most important factor because my lunch companion was always late so it was nice to have a reasonably quiet place to sit and think for a few minutes and people watch. I sat there sipping…
