$10,000.00

Not a million just ten thousand
That seems to be the figure that has always sat on me 
If at any given point in my life I was handed that much money 
All my problems would be solved, at least fiscally
That meager sum in some eyes and that massive amount in others

It seems that it is all it takes to balance me out each time I need to balance
It was the cost of one year of school
It was the cost when my debts were no longer manageable against my income
It was the cost of my failed business venture
It is the cost that seems to hold me down

There must be a way to break this, there must be a way.
