THE EQUATION

I crunched the numbers.
They always add up.
I'm good at math.
I can do it in my head.
I know interest rates.
Annuity tables.
Statistics.
The real estate market.
The stock market.
My bank accounts.
Investments.
Portfolios.
Believe me, I know the money.
I know all the angles.
It's simple.
A whole is just the sum of its parts.
But I can't figure out myself.
My parts don't fit together.
I have to solve this problem.
It's like the "new math" for me.
It causes me excruciating mental pain.
Nothing adds up, with the equation of me.
I have to figure it all out.
Before my number comes up.
