2 days off

I've spent the last
2 days
layin on the couch
lickin my wounds

where the hell
is my pride?

where the hell
is my courage?

where the hell
is my strength?

I don't want
any more
"put on yer big girl panties
and suck it up princess"
lectures
from anyone

I want a fucking job:
where I can
get up in the morning
refreshed and happy
to face my day

where I can
enjoy my work
and the people
I work with

where I can
make enough money
to survive
not just subsist

is that too god damn much
to ask?
