Paid in full

By Rubee

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

PAID IN FULL I've lived my whole life by the book Obeying all the rules So pardon me if you have a gripe But I think I've paid my dues I gave what was expected of me And then I gave some more Above and beyond the call of duty Only to be kicked down to the floor Many empty years were spent in tears You hardly knew that I was there I worked my fingers to the bone I doubt you ever really cared I've been neglected, disrespected And I've taken all your flack And in return, through all these years I got so little back I never asked for much from you Maybe that's where I first went wrong That's pretty much all that you gave And I could go on and on But now I've been enlightened A person can take just so much bull So here's my card, I'll say goodbye Please stamp....DUES PAID IN FULL ~~*PennyLynne*~~Just a little venting lol Written March 25th, 2002 © on Mar 25 2002 07:40 AM PST   0 • 10
