Awkward

Awkward

?How do I say,

"I'm beyond broke;

red is the new black,
pantry's had a heart attack

crumbs are scarce,

soft serve: chef's special;

bus trip may result in fine of the day,
this coffee round you'll have to pay

as well as the next

as one can foresee;

and mum seems on her last leg
I'm almost prepared to steal or beg

I'm stressing out

can't fake happy

notified rent's in arears
too dehydrated for tears

I need help

but would be a long term cadge;

don't know how to compete
or when I'll get back on my feet"
