THE JOB AT ACTEW WAS ******, I WASN’T GETTING WHAT I WANT


i prefer to be an entertainer, dudes, a really cool entertainer

rather than being in a job where they treat me like ****

you see i was told, i was getting a job in tuggeranong, i never got it

in fact they never even asked me

instead i got some ****** job, in the bush, *******, yaw ****

i was told off too many times, at least at the rainbow, they treated me better

i hear voices treating me like a hooligan, because my whole job at LEAD, was a tease

i don’t want to go back, they only cared for me, if i worked

i felt i was being judged for my problem, of not handling jokes

but everyone was teasing me in that job

nobody wanted me, for my work skills

well, they did, but, i wanted out of lower molonglo

and now, it looks like i am working at common ground

only volunteer, but it can’t be much worst than ACTEW, or LEAD

anyway, i dreamt last night, that, ACTEW rang me up, to ask if i would like to work

and i said no, because, they are just using me

mental health help me better, and i like to be given the opportunity to help the homeless

and they treat me better, well, at least i think they treat me, better

i performed in a mindscapes festival, reading poetry, doing a xmas show

perform in poetry slams, it could be my left leaning views

you see, the people at ACTEW were nice to me, but i feel i wanted to move on

ya see, my voices were driving me crazy, like i wanted to sing we’re not going to take it, really loud

i love loud music, nothing i did was ever good enough for LEAD, ok

stupid, i really was looking forward to that job in tuggeranong

and they took it away, without fucken asking me, it’s so annoying

all because, i got frustrated, because they kept cracking jokes, about when i wanted a fair go

i do my breakfast shows, tired from medication, so i wake myself up a bit, by dancing

i went to the national multicultural festival, on the weekend

i was at breaKing point, and i had to go to hospital, and turn LEAD and ACTEW off me

i don’t care, i just don’t care, ok, i am showing i have staying power,

you see cath and susan ***** came to me in my dream last night, asking do you want to come back
