The Cage

I go back to work tomorrow

Stealing time I can’t borrow

Only there because none can see

Any value in me

They’ll hire during peak

Then fire when I’m too weak

I can’t take care of anything

I am the definition of failing

Tell me what is the reason

For this neverending season?

I am getting so exhausted

And that flame, I’ve almost lost it

No longer know my purpose

So I spit puny verses

It’s a waste of a page

They’ll never see a stage

I’ll die in the cage
