Bankrupt

I cannot work out how I was meant
to be worth more than the sum of my parts
and yet I failed so.Existential debt hangs over me.
However much I give the kind word
and do the kind deed to try repay in kind
for what I cost the earth, and the people
who's kindness keeps me, the debt
is always more than my worth.
As far as I can account for myself
I am less, and getting lesser with the good will
of others. The longer I am kept the more the interest
in what I cost keeps rising. As I am kept, so my debt-
unpaid and unrepayable-compounds itself.
Life seems to be about putting off fore-closure.
