A Tired Man

I’m tired of getting up early to deal with all this stress, 

I’m tired of indexing and handling all this mess, 

I’m tired of feeling stiff while my body aches, 

I’m tired of all this overtime while we don’t ever see any breaks! 

I’m tired of being lied to and telling me my stats are keeping me on top,

I’m tired of all those mendacious comments because that ******** needs to stop!

I’m tired of micro-management behavior and being treated like a child,

I’m tired of waking up in the mornings to see fake-ass folks giving me a sham of a smile.

I’m tired of being spied on from someone behind a desk,

I’m tired of being told focus on your work, like I’m supposed to be studying for a test,

I’m tired of these bogus meetings and being told we’re going to hire you some more help,

I’m tired of not being able to go to the gym to loosen up the weight pressing upon my belt!

I’m tired of having to listen to music at work to have an outlet to the world,

I’m tired of these 10 hours a day that’s keeping me away from my baby girls,

I’m tired of these damn game plans that keep updating every two hours,

I’m tired of a little man playing tyrant that believes he has all the power! 

I’m so tired of yawning and constantly having to stretch out my back, 

I’m so tired of sitting up in this damn chair all day with no time to truly relax,

I’m so tired of my allergies causing my eyes to be watery I just wish it would quit,

I’m just so tired of being so damn tired so I’m done writing this s***! 

Words of a tired man!
