they

i forgot how this life thing works

i’ve been too busy living for them

the ones that say you’re doing big things

when your face is plastered on papers

the ones that say you’re at the top

when your name is plastered to no. 1

the ones that say you’re accomplished

when your home is the biggest of them all

oh no wonder I’ve been in a constant fall

i was mentally set up to fail

having amnesia of who I am

gave credence for them to work me

but today, I sent my resignation papers

ready to go to my 24/7 job

where life can finally make a living
