Your Boss

My world is spiraling out of control,
Spiraling,
Spiraling,
Out of control.

Grasp it tightly you say?
Grasp it and don’t let it go?
Remain strong, remain vigilant,
Remain on top?
I am trying, trying so hard,
Trying and fighting, 
Fighting and trying, 
To stay in control,

They make it so hard,
So hard to keep hold,
They push me, they pull me, 
They try to force me to remain,
To say nothing, 
To do nothing,
I know I can’t.

I must be strong to survive this game,
To play by the rules,
That I must inforce,
So hard this can be,
So hard it is now,
I fight them, 
They push me,
I fight them,
They pull me.

So many times I hear I am too young,
There is no age to what I do,
I am not too young,
You’re not too old,
It’s not how old you are,
It’s what you know,
I know this job,
I know this job better than life,
It’s what I breathe now, 
It’s what I live for most of the time.

Stop pushing me around,
Yes, I seem quiet,
Yes, I seem together,
Yes it seems nothing is bothering me,
But it is.

You are what’s making this harder than it has been, 
No you have not changed everything since you came,
No you have not fixed all the problems,
And if I am to find, that you’ve said anything else,
I will cut you out, 
I will make you stop, 
I will let you go.

No one likes to be ended by someone so young,
Then do as I ask,
Don’t tell me I’m wrong,
Don’t forget who I am,
I am 

Your boss.
