Worthless Functionary
WORTHLESS FUNCTIONARY
When you reach that time in your life
where you make all the choices,
be sure you are mentally active enough
to overcome a lifetime full of negative voices.
Voices and thoughts of your total worth
reverberate through your vacuous head,
they continue throughout the day and
prevent you from sleeping once in bed.
Their sordid dissing voices never, ever
sounded like they remotely tried to be dear.
Thankfully, those voices never came from the one
you were truly wishing would appear.
Once again you’re alone with your random thoughts
and you keep hearing discordant muses.
Significant time is wasted thinking about
your own life and its’ supposed limited uses.
Needed by some, so often you’re abused
and maybe you’re ignored by many others.
Does your worthless functions really mean less
than THEIR self absorbed agenda and druthers?
When you come into this world
you are fully intentioned to stay,
so who really gives a damn if within
your life, they refuse to play.
