six months past, a calendar invite,
not on my radar, can't be that bad
hard working days, tireless weeks ground,
my work is good, the results are visible
tomorrow's already here, just another day,
gently corrected in stance, better worker i'll be
when it's over, when work's done,
when i'm just sitting, when my thoughts creep,
am i alive? am i myself?
am i good enough? do i still matter?
when judgement comes, when time's rough,
are you still here? do you still care?
when performance fails, when connections sever,
will you remember me? fight to keep me?
when i'm silent, when i'm alone,
would you reach out? would you scar yourself?
many days past, a silent inbox,
nothing on my soul, don't feel like myself
agonizing lonely days, senseless weeks spent,
my work's all done, the results are past.
noone looked back, nothing stayed still,
everyone is moving forward, better alone i'll be.
