university misery to the tune of a dying monarchy

[alternatively titled My Flatmate Is Rich And I Am Homicidal]

broke(nhearted) students live their own greek tragedies
soundtracked to stock markets crashing through paper thin walls 
and smoke screened flatmates mourning the death of their safety nets
it remains my own burden that i can't afford the simple hedonism
of taxis across the city to parties where my neuroticism will fade into the background
along with the added weight of the fact that you will never bathe in your own cold sweat
past midnight hours, debt to vague faceless figures an imagery in refusal of being pushed into your subconsciousness
even the water at the bottom of the fridge can be glamorous with millions on speed dial
i refuse to see the deeper meaning in your art when your rainy day savings could change the course of my existence
more value lies in the backseat of a beat up car than anything your credit card could piece together
