The Unnecessary Alarmist Strikes Back with a Vengeance
Woke up this morning with a plan that didn't come true
Not even close to the introduction of the ideas
Planned to go out strong and leave them hanging for more
Confidence and the illusion of taking charge of what was ahead
Not looking at what was in the rearview mirror
Didn't turn out as well as intended; not even close
Was once on top of the world at 7:00 AM
Down in the gutter by 9:30 AM on the dot
What a difference a few hours makes to someone's self esteem
Allowed to get brought down by a Nigerian pretender
Nice and sweet on the surface; with a Mean Girls twist underneath
Minus the impeccable writing of Tiny Fey to sweeten the blowback
Wondering what's the point of trying to be kind to someone
Who doesn't deserve it and loved to push you in the dirt
Getting fed up eating mother's nature breakfast with a smile
And turning the other cheek every helping of it
Tired of getting pushed to the brink by people
Who enjoy to push buttons and twist the knife further
Digging for gold when they discover the anxiety of others
Long suppressed fears brought to light over pointless conversations
About absolutely nothing; just like every Seinfeld episode
People who pretend to be friendly to your face
And mock your very existence when your back is turned
Hypocrites who thrive on stepping on others in their stilettos
Laughing about it all the way to the bank as they wipe the blood off
Surveying the damage with a false sense of psychotic accomplishment
Ready to fight back against the tyranny of others who think they're in control
They're another rat lost in the same lousy race as you
Bought some Timberland boots to climb through the muck and mire of corporate life
Sticking my head in the proverbial sand for most of the day
Only coming up for air, food, water and sunlight
That's it.
No more being a solicitous colleague to those who don't deserve it.
This nervous Nellie has more on their plate to contend with anyways.
