Debt looms over me, 
like a shadow with teeth,
it's long gnarly nails,
tap my shoulders in tandem,
peering into my soul,
Awakening shrilly,
Barrages of alarms,
Wake up, wake up,
You've got nothing to do,
A protégé child,
Burnt out, 5'2 meat sack,
Beg, Beg, Beg,
Apply, Apply, Apply,
Luminescent pixels glow,
Upon weeping, tired eyes,
27, 28, 29...



a dark image of a person laying on their bed, staring into their phone. An overlay of a clock winding into a spiral is transparent over the image, it is meant to convey time running out while this person is trying their hardest to get by.
