shoot for the stars
I've only seen them falling lately
last week I saw two
without counting myself
what's going on up there?
well, for the past month
i've proven that i'm not better
than the rest of us
i've judged people so hard
for having all the time in the world
and not doing anything with it
yet here i am, uninspired
rotting between these four walls
and when i catch the wave
of inspiration to do anything
i dive in head first
hit my head and suffocate
under the pressure i put on myself
with my body stepping in
stuffing my sinuses with common sense
didn't even need a new sick note
because I'm just sick enough
to pause feeding capitalism
and our welfare system
makes it my human right
but of course we applaud you
for trying those two weeks
to become one of us again
yet falling back sick
for another 2.5 months after
your award: lose 50% of your income
who's laughing now?
my credit card issuer
sign here
so who wants to hire me?
i could work really hard for your cause
and end up right here, again
but maybe i'll get paid more next time
heard of capitalism? constant growth
in therapy bills, zeroes in my account
case processing times
to be disappointed after 10 weeks
instead of the 7 weeks yesterday
maybe the interest rate increases too
we all agree that money is too cheap
i've exerted a world of motivation
for every company that needs my skills
but my cause is not hiring
there is no money in good cause
i've also been denied by all that don't
I haven't paid thousands for a paper
that proves that our conversation
was in fact in norwegian
so these days i dance my money away
keep recognizing myself in my reading
of love in the time of cholera
learn to live side-by-side with the black dog
that hopefully will help me land
somewhere i'm actually supposed to bee
eventually
