On My Own

    There's nothing I can do.  My whole family is disappointed in me for not having a good job.  They all thought I was going to be a rocket scientist or something.  Or like them- they're all in the middle class, so why aren't I?  It's not like I haven't tried.  I don't have enough money to finish college.  I could take out a loan, but that's like throwing money away.  It's a bad investment too, since it seems that I'm incapable of majoring in one single thing.  I just wish they'd leave me alone.  I've been on my own for the last 3 years supporting myself, and it hasn't been easy.  I've had to leave one job after another for feeling unappreciated and taken advantage of.  I'm not sure how they are immune to this cruel world.  Maybe their karma is better than mine.  Maybe I don't know how to stand up for myself.  How does someone live on their own without being able to do that?
