Never easy, not always fun;
but damn, look at how far we've all come.
Mid-Twenties are hard, and it's not even cool.
But like mom said:

"Life's not always fair."

Still in school, drenched in debt.
Maybe FAFSA will get wiped out;
but we all know it won't.
Sallie Mae called me the other day;
they just played Rihanna:

"Bitch Better Have My Money."

Well, I don't.
I'll be dead and will still owe you;
but then you'll harass my children--
that is, if I can afford to have my own.

I'm sorry I took so long in school.
All I wanted was an education,
but it turns out the real gift isn't knowledge,
it's debt.
But I'll keep the faith;
America will figure it out.
I don't mind paying for higher education,

I just can't afford to.
