Remember To Breathe

So soon you forget me when work comes in play
I'm out of your mind while you're on display

Didn't you say this would not stress you out
it is what it is just a paycheck no doubt

I can already tell you are working unbarred
impressing the bosses who turned in your card

I am still here when you remember to breathe
or hold it all in as you puff up and seethe

Ivy, hi! This couplet flows so well and describes well your caring nature, thinking of the other, expressing that you're there and offering advice. Wonderfully written. Michael
