I'm tired

I’m tired of trying to make ends meet
It’s something I never put effort on before
Nowadays I’m doing what I didn’t envision myself doing 4 months ago
How will I get to work tomorrow?
It’s inevitable –almost, sort of
It’s the country I live in
What I’m contending with is the amount of energy I put in getting to the end of the week
Right now we’ve got enough inflation to go round the whole population each getting 1%
I really wish things would get back to normal
The old days wish from a modern day ancient called me
I want to ask the guy with the cart how much bananas are so that I know how many I can get and not so that I decide if I should buy
I want to be able to stop the ice-cream cart and buy an ice lolly coz it’s hot
I want to be able to buy meat for the whole month in one go
I want to be able to spoil myself and my friends when I get paid
I don’t want to budget when I think of buying a friend a birthday gift
I want to be able to buy fresh bread off the shelf and not some street corner
I want to drive to my nephew’s school with top up tuck and cheers from the family
I want to go to the bank just twice a month and swipe the whole month thru
I want to drive out of town and visit a place I’ve never been before
I want to plan a holiday outing for myself and friends
I want…………….
I want to smile when I se bank notes in my jacket pocket before I send it to the cleaners’
Actually, I want to send my jackets to the cleaners more often
So many wants
What do I need?
I need to go to the bank and get bus fare for tomorrow
So out of my reverie and tracks to the bank
