Flat Broke (sonnet)

What do you do when you are "all grown up"
And you still don't know what you want to be?
What do you do when you just don't know what
To do when you are screwed financially?
You can run like a chicken beheaded
And try to find a better paying job,
But still they arrive, those bills you've dreaded,
And the "saints" seem as absent as their God.
You can ask for more hours (good luck with that),
You can try to sell stuff in a flier,
But still the fact remains that you're broke (FLAT) --
It's no surprise the situation's dire.
Where do you go? Who do you ask for help?
It feels like you're all alone, by yourself.
