The Workers Are Going Home - Poem

Sometimes I want assurance from people who I shouldn’t get it from.
Like people who want my money.
I want them to type to me that it is okay that I am behind on a few payments.
Type it.
I am not talking to them about this.
I want to feel as though they care that I got a promotion, and my life on track.
Do they?
They don’t even have the time to talk to me, what do you think?
I get scared when I hear the word collections.
I don’t know why.
I never had a nightmare where some monster was chasing me, and then when he catches me tells me that I have to pay for something that I forget about.
That never happens.
So why do I tremble when I hear a company called Sun Radius Area Oval Parenthesis Cylinder Planet Inc. sent me a letter?
I have until a certain date to pay off whatever amount I already knew that I owed.
What are they going to do really?
It is not like I am trying to get away with anything.
I am putting my money towards the payment as soon as I get paid.
So what do I fear?
I don’t know.
The boogie man sometimes comes not in an outfit or even a person but of an invisible feeling you give yourself.
A thought in your head that only you came up with that is now greater than you ever imagined it to be.
