Get Off My Back

Washing and drying
Folding and clothing
Scooping and dumping
Hustling and bustling.

I follow my routine
Each tuesday, thursday and friday
Getting all the chores done
On rare occassion one is saved for tomorrow.

Yet, your never satisfied
You try to throw off my pattern
Adding new things that don't swing
While you make empty threats
That I ain't buying.

You may bark all you want,
But you don't got the bite
Even when you put on a mean face
Trying to make everyone bow before you
Just because you think your the boss.

Then you tell me "Wait until you land a job"
"Just see how hard that'll be"
That's only your opinion
Because your work is full of idiots.

So don't push your beliefs on me
You may be experienced 
Yet when it comes to jobs
You don't understand
That all jobs differ.

I'm doing my best
Just like the rest
To find work out there
That's right for me.

As long as I'm happy
Relating to my field
Suiting to my skills
An environment that's just right
Then I've found the ideal job.

I love to relax and have fun,
Pausing the fun button
To get the job done
Then get back to bliss.

I know the time
Check off the chores
On the list in my mind
I get it all done.

Helping you out
Groceries and tasks
I get them done
Multitasking everything
To balance work and pleasure.

You see negatives in life
While I see positives
Think I don't use my head
I use it more than you know.

You see the grass as gray
I see the grass as greener
You see the glass as half empty
I see the glass as half full.

I Rapunzel, You Gothel
Your wrong about me,
Your wrong about people,
Your wrong about jobs.

Learn to loosen up,
Accept the things in life,
Be more appreciative of the people
That surround you that care.

Smash your negativity
With the hammer of positivity
Because I won't put up with it
So just get off my back.
