Hostile Work Environment
It’s the hustle and bustle
Some have 3 jobs
No one works at one
Job for twenty years
Anymore
You need a couple
To get by
Jobs that don’t pay well
They drain your spirit
Your soul
Your creativity
Your life
It’s survival
The hustle and bustle
The economy will kill you
Confession
Today is a bad day
I’m struggling
I keep going to
Negative places
Dark places
I need you to know
I’m in love with you
I know you’ll never
Feel the same for me
But I know you care about me
I couldn’t say this
In person because
I’m afraid you won’t
Want to see me anymore
So I don’t cling to you
I also think nothing
Can come between us
I believe that you care for me
I trust you – To me
Trust means more than love
It will be a long time
Before I trust someone
As much as I do you
But I want you to be happy
Even if that means
Not being in your life
But I hope you’ll let me
