this world is spinning round and round,
I can't stop it!
No one wants to help me,
and I will soon be stripped of my life,
my family,
my natural surroundings...
All for college,
all for the job of a lifetime..
I have no money for this,
and I fear I won't get this job.
Help!
I been crying for days,
trying to figure out what to do,
and yet...
and yet I begin with nothing and end with as much.
I'll be working a dead-end job,
not really going anywhere....
Will I live comfortably?
Please don't let me go bankrupt-
That would be the 13 year death sentence...
and I can't live with that.
Mom...
Dad....
They're trying to help as much as they can,
but i'm getting nowhere.
who will save me now?
Save me from a $13000 bill for a year of college?
For three terms of class.
I fear no one.
Maybe death is better.
I could give up mortal dreams
for eternal peace.
But then who would take care of my family?
who would ever mourn a person who was in mourning?
Who had just lost her grandmother recently...
A girl who is afraid to live.....
The voice in my head says no one really cares.
