PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

She's poor, she likes to work

No, I don't, you self-important jerk

I'm so tired of this shit

One day, I'm gonna take the knife and call it quits

What am I to do? I'm just one girl

I can't do the jobs of the whole goddamned world.

I'm tired and hungry, and my head and back ache

But the work never ends, this takes the fucking cake

I'm tired of it all, I just wanna rest

But I work hard so I can be the best

I strive for approval, will the cycle never end?

Cause when it's over, I have to begin again

I would love to reach the top,

But I know that even there, it really won't stop

But a break is all I need, but one I'll never get

Cause my job's not done, there's more to do yet

If everyone would pitch in and help me

Then one day I might go home early

I have to do jobs that are not mine

But to help me, that is not fine

I am a workhorse, that's all they see me as

A hard-worker am I, so everyone else can have

But when will my turn come? That's what I want to know

For at the very end of it all, what will I have to show?

A life spent working my ass off,

So I can go out with one little cough.
