Prolonging the Inevitable...
by Ed Matlack → (All Poetry by Ed Matlack)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

I write and I feel better to a degree, hence the self-help category...

No money, not funny,

No food, is very rude,

No electric, not just eclectic,

Life is boring, of everything I should be storing…

 

Unemployment running out,

Of finding a good job I have a doubt,

Told I should try for disability,

But am I disabled with just leg pain,

If I were to jump off a building, I might leave a stain…

 

I am not good at making decisions,

I really get down when I have time to think,

Rent & such “could” get behind,

I’ve not been in this type of predicament,

In quite a long, long time…

The inevitable is often what we make it, brother. Sounds like it's time for you to make some of those decisions you dread.

You went to Nam...now make them pay up. I have several friends who are fruit loops...(not really) and they get a nice lump...you deserve it.

Ed, you have half your life done what you had to do, and you always came out on top, something happened, make something else happen, Yes you, shake some trees, any kind apples oranges whatever, sooner or later some fruit will fall, come on guy, I wish you all the best!
Bless you! Jasmin Horst

One can learn to live with pain, but certainly cannot work at hard labor with it. Face the problem head-on, Ed; you CAN work it out, even if you go back to a previous job with lighter work. Prayers help, if you make 'em happen...better than worryin', friend!

Don't let foolish pride heep you from disability. At least you have a legit reason, not like so many who fake it! You deserve it,since you paid into it while you worked. Rufuz, tell dad to wise up and get what he is eligible for!

Love,

Pray to God. He will give you the answers if you listen with your heart> I am reading a book The Secret of Happiness, Enjoy Today, Embrace Tomorrow, by Joyce Meye, a new book, and it tells not to worry and let things get you down. Don't even look to the future, be in the now. Things will work out for you if you have enough faith.

Very sad write. I hope all is well at your end if this is fiction, if not then you should read this little gem of a book called "The greatest miracle in the world" by Og Mandino, haven't met anyone who's read it and not had an impact from it.

If we are tested...how long til we get the results?
Brother, please, don't despair, when one hit rock bottom the only way left is up, not an easy one, but at least we can go up by our own steam.
Be good, brother.
