Checkmate

A relationship with them
It lasts forever.
In either variety of parents.

Yet it's difficult
The misunderstanding of one pair
While the other set remains unknown.

I feel I am losing them both.
And this is only one issue
Money is a powerful thing

Debt is a monstrous demon
In many lives of people today
Haunting their livlihoods

Friends drifting apart
Fighting over useless topics
I miss them already

An insecure future
Worries me constantly
I can only hope for the best

Yet I prepare for the worst
As I remain uncertain of what lies ahead.
Not knowing who I really am

I cannot progress without knowing
Identity is a hard thing to live without
Every element adds to the feeling of defeat

A checkmate.
