Exhausted from the past few days of being in charge
Thankless position where the person got a lot of flack
Just for fulfilling their required duties and responsibilities
Nothing more, nothing less in doing so in the first place
Exacerbated by a compulsive need to please others
Understood that not everyone was going to be pleased
Some will be irritated and try to throw you under the bus
A fact of life that will never change no matter what
Best just to do what is required without bending over backwards
Never got anyone anywhere, except a monstrous headache
Irritated to the maximum velocity for doing too much
A whirling dervish with nowhere to go without falling
Off a cliff into the abyss of being an overachiever
Doing so much without getting a thing for it
Doesn't seem fair that hard workers get so little
While the slackers seem to run the program
Time to go back into the trenches today
Couldn't be happier to be back in favorite position
With the rest of the worker bees buzzing away
Listening to music and cranking results out
Relieved that it was time to give someone else
The burden of running the show for a change
Heavy is the head that wears the respective crown
Full of jewels and adornments of past, present and future
Power players that put their own stamp on the legacy
Designed it into a fashion that was traditionally their own
Never understood how some people are built for this
While others liked to rebel in the outer decks of society
Preferred to be squarely in the middle of both
A member of the lunatic fringe and a conservative player
Felt better to be playing on a balancing act than choosing
One role versus the other; not very suited for that personality wise
Sore and fatigued from running around like a crazy person
Putting on unnecessary pressures to be in the trenches
And controlling the storm from entering the gate
Putting a stop to all the demons looking to gain admission
Stepping down from this hornet's nest full of thrones
Causing a lot of stress and downing half a box of chocolates
To alleviate a lot of self-manufactured tension to keep things going
Enjoying winding down the week back to normal
Focusing on my particular lane and let the rest
Be someone else's problem for now on
Thank goodness for small favors.
Heavy is the head who wears this.
