“Last night, I dreamed that we all got fired!”
\nWe all laughed at the absurd idea
\nStrenuous hours, understaffed, unsupported
\nWe made the best of it we could<\/p>\n
The next morning, the phone ran
\nThe dream became a premonition
\n“They fuckin fired me”
\n“They’re calling me to fire me too!”<\/p>\n
Heart sink
\nTunnel vision
\nBlind rage
\nFuming smoke<\/p>\n
“We’re really dissapointed.”
\n“You’re not ready.”
\n“You’re just not meant for this.”
\nLies to my face point blank<\/p>\n
Sometimes
\nYou’re the hero
\nSometimes
\nYou’re the scapegoat<\/p>\n
Your best isn’t always good enough
\nTo those who hold no merit
\nThe next time it was better
\nThe next, I didn’t blink<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
