Miss Mae

Miss Sallie Mae,
I hope this letter comes to you with cheer,
I'd have you know it's been a frightfully rough
two years
I graduated with hopes
and ambitions so sky high
But now Life's expeditions
seemingly might have passed me by
You have to understand my awful situation
I don't ignore you for sport
or for just any occasion
I would like to talk to you
and explain how things are currently
for me
But when I try to communicate-
your children seem to tease
They call me all the time
With threats of dept, and such
They tell to pay a huge lump sum,
or I am out of luck
Please Mam try to be reasonable
for cash grows not on trees
And if that were the case
then I would send you piles
of leaves
So I am certainly not begging on my knees
But do take into consideration
my life has been no breeze
No jobs in my profession
will even hire me
More schooling is required
for the job of my dreams
So since 09' I have been working
below my means
And it seems that Education at this point
indeed deceived
For I believed with dedication
that anything I could be
But now I'm stuck with bills that
even haunt me in my sleep
And Mr. Hughes said a dream deferred
might immaculately com bust
But deferment in your world
means higher interest, and that sucks
I know you do not care to care
or care to even read
But here is my status:
Mother of one
Struggling just to breathe
