We tell ourselves maybe this will cause the scales to tip

but it doesn’t seem to change things a bit

so we tighten our belt and rearrange our grip

but it doesn’t seem to matter no matter how much

we bleed or how much we sweat

my spirit comes to me as I drape myself over the fence

“I see you child and I applaud your attempt, but finally you must stop looking for appreciation and acknowledgment…….you are never going to get”

“but in the end remember you work for me…..and you have gone above and beyond…….I’ll take it from here”
