Work Hard
work hard –
in a way that i once never did
play hard –
there were days when responsibility hid
there were days –
when my social skills were brutality exposed
when life lifted the lid
placing my inadequacies on show
days when the things i thought i wanted
were just impossible auction house bids
there was a stench of arrogance upon me
and my dreams just told fibs
work hard –
now, in a way i once never did
James Garratt – Wednesday 8th March 2023
