Poem Title:
Poem
All was well I wanted to share I wanted to serve I graduated with a goal To help others And to figure out my dream I flew off to volunteer And the first thing I heard You aren’t good enough I didn't have a license I didn’t do drugs I was “too innocent” for my age group The middle age folk were too busy They didn't have time for a kid like me The older folk were precious But they couldn't relate Due to generational differences I was separated from the group Sent to my own project Far away in maryland What luck My boss was another volunteers parent Maybe we will get along What horror My boss thinks that her baby deserves better And treats me like crap I though I signed up To look after children Not to scrub walls Isn't it a bit much To expect me to clean All this by myself? My leg hurts But I can't drive Guess I won’t see the doctor Why would you say I did good And then say I was the worst employee you ever had? Just because there is a volunteer contact Doesn't mean I have to stay here So stop quoting the damn thing How has it only been half a year All my old wounds reopen I don't feel safe But I WILL stick it out SUMMERTIME YAY Now i'll get to help Take care of children Nevermind Boss lady is a jerk She puts me on full time cleaning and kitchen This wasn't in the contract I have to work breakfast I have to work dinner I clean in between 6 am - 1am is my shift FOR TWO MONTHS I fondly remember You quoting the contract MUST WORK 8 Hours Daily I'm pretty sure that was a limit too? Finally the end is here But you want me to stay? Another Month? Bro- I've got college to get to! Cant even be bothered To take me to the airport Well, what did I expect
