makes or breaks you
your life depends on people liking you
and people are fickle
but if they don’t buy you
you have nothing
you live your life
on a shoestring
and it’s getting shorter
you have nothing in order
no savings account
let alone retirement
no vacation money
and yet you write
because you must
and when people ask you why
you haven’t a reason to tell them
except that it’s your unrequited love
that breaks your heart
and gets you out of bed
every morning to tell them
the heartache that this has cost you
you’ve never been a 9 to 5 gal
you couldn’t fit into that world
but you aren’t considered in this one either
so, where does that leave you -
in neither
