In return

In return

A Poem by Jackie
"

I owe no debt, taken extra step. Carry a load not only of my own around my neck

"
I don't get that same respect
I don't get that same concern, 
y'all expect so much 
when I bend over backward 
but I get so little in return
I give it 100 all of the time 
I put myself out on the line
I'm hardly ever falling behind

Now I'm tired 
of being someone else's perk 
jerked around Over worked 
without a doubt. I need to think 
about myself No one thinks 
about my health. Mentally physically
emotionally. I been feeling spent. 

Running on fumes. Experiencing 
symptoms of exhaustion. All I do is run 
when I'm clocked in. And i run even more t
the point I'm feeling weak in my core. 

I owe no debt, I've taken extra steps
carry a load not only of my own around my neck
I'm giving it my best. I can feel all of this weight depress. 

I don't get paid enough for this 
I don't get paid to keep up 
with everybody elses mess
I keep up with mine. I keep it 100+ d
near all of the time
