Take My Wallet

(A Poem)

I don’t want it anymore

Money from it just falls through my fingertips

Swipes from the floor

I blame it on my relationship with the thing

How in my mind it garners so many possibilities and convenience

Or maybe it’s just my poverty mindset that treats it

Because the more I wanna be responsible the faster the trait runs out the window

Tryna figure out what type of investing I can do

Regardless I don’t want to fight it

Worry nor plan

I just want the responsibility of it out of my hands
