Workplace Fuckery
Love is an illusion
That over time, everyone chooses
To believe in with vigor
But in the end, there are only losers
I tried giving my heart to you
But the ends didn’t justify the means
Maybe it was for the best
Because for you I was willing
To sacrifice my very being
Beautiful sunsets, long walks in the park?
How about a fractured reality?
Nights were cold; days are stark
Looking in the mirror I now see a different version
Of who I used to be
Who is this person?
Eyes sunken in, my expression frequently grim
A dark cloud envelopes my face
I can no longer feel; this depression deepens
At the end of the tunnel they say there’s a light
For me its a needle in the proverbial stack of hay
People try to engage me in conversation
And though my heart screams, my mouth lacks the words to say
I saw a rose in the ground struggling today
Fight to reach for the sky
To most, this would be a beautiful sight; my only thought was
Why?
When it seems you are so close to your goal
Suddenly the moon appears; off in the distance and bright
Almost like its mocking your efforts
Why are we so insistent to fight?
Its not as if I could give up; there’s nothing left for me
To let go
So instead I wander throughout my days
Feigning interest, garnering false hope
