Because of you
Because of you
When your back is about to break because you took your lunch late and you attest to the stress that the job creates and when you swipe in and you feel hate for this place that puts food on your plate, I always see your face.
My head no longer aches, in fact I forget about the brats that laugh during their union/management bash that seem to lack the facts to ease the tasks or my duties. I have to deal with the masks of the phonies, that lady who sells avon always reminding me “you owe me”, nearly wetting myself because I forgot the bathroom codekey.
You came by and just said hi and saw the tears waiting in my eyes and without trying to pry you sincerely ask why and I felt safe enough to let loose my water and cry. You see I found out that my long-term lover has lied and said bye. You see I failed in my class although you can use very hard to describe my try. The Dr. told it is possible for me to die. It’s so much to cope with , I think about using dope which might make me feel better then the soap that won’t wash away my troubles that won’t follow the bubbles down the drain of my soak.
But, with a sentence or two you did what you do by reminding of the love from above below. That from being one of God’s ilk we are not to inherit a life with a path as smooth as silk but, we are granted the strength to overcome that which man has done to tempt you to fall back into a world so cold. Where evil is rather bold and the air is as hard to breathe as if it were coal. A world where people lash at others, and people thrash their sisters and brothers and kill their lovers. This world of anger is so seductive and is never productive yet it acts like a sedative that we think makes the pain go away. But it stays. That is why at the end of the day, we are reminded to pray and then heavy is no longer how the world weighs. As my head rose and I felt the glow of a spiritual bond, you told me I had it going on.
You flattered me with exaggerated but much appreciated compliments to stroke my ego. Using your words as a placebo causing my mind to see a show that is jammed pack with people.
I am on stage and I feel the jubilation and the celebration and feeling worthy of a standing ovation and I thank you for conducting this orchestration to help me one more day in this earthly station. What can I say except see you on pay day and by the way thanks for having a heart true, for giving me my due and for receiving my gratitude because it’s because of you.
