Why is there always one ?
One who you cannot stand
Who gets underneath your skin
Eats away at you from within
You cannot lash out, it’s not correct!
Be the adult, it’s him the pest.
Resist resist, don’t bite you fool.
Be the bigger man, it’s all cool.
His arrogance and ego will get him.
He’ll do it all by himself.
But why is there always one?
Easy life never was any fun

Bossy cow!
That’s it, I’ve had enough
This job has just gotten too much
My boss is a bitch, she’s breaking my balls
Hypocritical twat that certainly knows it all
Never bloody wrong, always fucking right
Doing my head in, we do nothing but fight
She says to me I have changed and have a nasty side
This comes from a snake, venomous with pride
When ever there is work to be done
She’s in the office, sat on her bum!
If it’s not that then she’s hidden away
IPhone out, having a play
She won’t let me work, get on with it
Controlling me, moving me like a puppet
I just hope that one day I’ll stop seeing her
That day will be great, even, SUPER!

Waiting
Waiting is a horrible thing
What is this news gonna bring?
Is it positive? is it a yes?
Did I do what was asked of the test?
Is it negative? is it a no?
Do I drown myself into my sorrow?
This is killing me, hours and days
Walking around in my own haze
Checking my phone for a buzz or a ring
“When you going to ring you poxy thing!”
I can’t stand it, it’s getting too much
How can one response cause such a fuss
The phone rings, lights up at last
I was quick, super quick, lightning fast
I wait anxiously, saying hello
Is it good news, or just another blow?
Hello, I have spoken to them, this is the news
Thank you, I hold my breath, win or lose?

Why is depression so overwhelming?
Why is depression so overwhelming?
It seems as if fighting it is useless but I don’t even know why it is there.
I didn’t go to bed with it but it lays with my head on the pillow and when I look at myself brushing my teeth.
The car journey to work automatic as my brain tells me stories of what I can do as it holds me captive as I cannot switch off.
It is so heavy, piggy backing me while I get my coffee and sit down at my desk.
Thank god I have my job to push these thoughts away.
Get off my back!
A new start
Hello all, how are you all doing?
Today is an interesting day. I have been woken up by our new kitten at 5 am for the third morning in a row. It is Monday. First day in my current job with a promotion. I am waiting to see what it entails and how the other members of staff will be with me.
I am now 38. Still English, living in france for 11 years. I am in my new job of 7 months as an outsider with experience and I am sure that the announcement today will put a few noses out of joint!
Has anybody else been in this position? I am however very eager to make the change and see what it brings. It feels so good after putting my career on pause for 11 years for the kids to learn a new language to do the accounts in another language and to learn a completely new position and to finally be noticed.
Wish me luck
My boss I hate you
Boss, we’ve all got one
Many of us are under the thumb
Let’s start with all the different types
Thoughtful, kind and sometimes nice
Controlling, demanding, asking a lot
Stressful, arrogant, losing the plot
It’s us doing the hours, working all day
While you’re chilling out, getting your pay
What do you actually do? I’ve not had my break!
Sitting there you, chilled, you great big mistake!
Look at all the work I have done for you
Thanks guy, I’ll pass it for mine, that’s true
There is one thing that I’d like to say to you….
You’re an arsehole, I quit, FUCK YOU
I’m not okay!
It’s hard
Not knowing why I feel this way
Confined for so long
Playing with my mental puppet strings
Pulling, yanking
Am I am just to dance?
A merry jive
To the music of the propaganda
The conspiracies
The lies of powerful people
That feel they do not have to abide
I remember the angst
The unruly mental thoughts
Skipping through my mind
As that rope slapped against my brain
Again and again and again and again
Should I even start on the job?
The thought of being a point to it all
No, a mindless trill
I am just expected to be good
And continue fucking on
Where is my value?
Am I just a tool in a workbench?
As I always will be
Until worn and I will be changed
Traded in for a younger model
At a discounted price
Now I know what to expect
It isn’t any easier
Nor shall it ever be
And before you ask
No
I’m not okay!

Sunday night
I hate Sunday night
Work the next day
Kids off to school
No time to play
Is it for them
Is it for me
I love to have fun
It makes me happy
Now a boring job
In front of a screen
Tapping on the keys
Just a has been
