Hard Work

You showed me that hard work means shit

That no matter how hard I worked for it

It would always be given to someone else

You took all of my ideals

And completely threw them away

For I have tried over and over again

To show you what you mean to me

And I did not ask for much in return

Nothing you couldn't afford

No, all I asked for

Was for you to be open-minded

To be honest about what you felt

But it seems like even honesty is too costly

So thank you for setting me straight

Thank you for teaching me how to give up

Thank you for showing me that not everything

Is worth it
