My mind has gone blank. Yet I have so much to do. A cacophony of voices critiquing But those helping are so few.
How could the instructions be any clearer, Than how they were written down? How do I get people to realise that If they don’t stop piling on this ****, I will drown.
Nobody seems to want to talk to each other Yet they expect me to know it all With several teachers whose tones want to crucify me But who’s words say I shouldn’t take the fall.
And it’s not my responsibility To do this work for you And really it would get finished a lot faster If you did some of this too.
And I understand that you have lots of ideas So, you want to change things constantly. But do YOU understand that everything you change Is a few more hours work for me?
I've no time to finish this poem Because I have to go complete another task. So, I’ll leave a copy right here for you And hope it helps you see through my obvious mask.
Written during a time of great stress and pressure. Sometimes when things are tough you just want people to Shut Up.
