Sticky Dry Mouth

Wanted or should i say wished
to do anything of substance
to be noticed

But went about it the wrong way
come to think of it

Should have just stuck to my guns

Stopped wanting and wishing for
thing's beyond my means

Trying to please 

And just got on with my day job

Of being irreverent and irrelevant

A simple envelope filler with a 
sticky tongue and dry mouth

With a mountain of bill's to pay
without means to pay them

And worst of all still no closer to
being noticed than before

Ignored by all and sundry and
finding myself agreeing with
them not me

Christopher I am not even joking when I say that I am sorry. I am sorry that capitalism has made your life miserable. I hope that one day you will find happiness within an occupation that you actually love. I know that you will one day. Your writing is great, I hope you feel better soon. Love - Hazel

Christopher, there is honor in all work, as humdrum and monotonous as it may be. Who knows what promise lies in the communication inside those envelopes??? Nicely penned.
