He Gave His All

signed documents a new start to make something of himself a passion project incomplete no longer needed a purpose served a sketchy business ran by snakes usurped and ignored he gave his all and all he gave begging and pleading for a change like a squeaky wheel to balance his life, and relieve the stress grease forgotten causing the wheel to rattle, an upset rider battling unknowns at one point useful, yet no longer worthy cast aside as if he hasn’t everything passion gone confused and betrayed by a machete lodged in the back co-workers, once friends all is no more for underneath the mask were enemies a deep sense of loss, a loss of faith, two years wasted at the hands of snakes © 2022
