Something in the Way


No gift for you Sagittarius 
Your birthday's too close to Christmas
Maybe if I throw up all my french fries
I'll get invited to the party
You never do anything for me
because nothing was done for you
The news reports another shooting
But who cares?
Is it that the good die young
or people get what they deserve
Overheard another conversation about myself
"She does nothing!"
Then depend on somebody else to care about your paltriness
Never fought to win when compared to another
I have my dreams to comfort me
Especially to retire self-employed because no one would hire me
Too many bosses, not enough employees
The addiction of routine
The goal of always being on time,
but never in a hurry
