Staggering Performance

There was a time when I begged for you appreciation...
now, I wonder if I can meet up to your impressions.
I hear the things you say about me and to me.
It's almost as if it isn't me at all.

I know I am something special.
I know I have leadership qualities.
I even know I exhibit wisdom...
but wisdom means nothing without training.

I showed you I was capable
and now you expect a savior, a chosen one.

Is this pressure or paranoia?
Have you not asked this of me?

Like a blind man painting on a canvas,
I wonder if your vision will ever match my mind.
There are bigger things to change
than just the bottom line...
but I guess your professor was
on vacation that week.

Please tell me what you think

    Incredibly written just like all of your work. You have amazing talent.

    "I showed you I was capable
    and now you expect a savior, a chosen one."

    Awesome! I really expresses that we can master everything required of us and then it still isn't good enough.

    I know where you work. When I was a manager for Valero, I knew another manager, Will, who worked for them as well. He said it was a difficult company to work for.
    But then, all corporations are. I never knew what the big fucking deal with corporations was until I worked for Valero, and then I completely understood.
    When I left, a friend who owns a carwash advised me on trying to get backpay for all the months that I worked, not my salaried 45 hours, but 65 hours a week. He said something that will stick with me for the rest of my life: corporations pay the fine for their wrongdoings, and they move on and do it again.
    Yo have an excellent talent. There are a lot of jobs out there who will pay you for your talent, you just have to find them.
    But I am a hypocrite. If I could get off my ass and market some of my photographs, maybe I would be making more money and having fun doing it.
    Write on!

      You crack me up!

      You say you know where I work...but you must have forgotten. You went on and on about Valero (and no offense), but Valero is bottom of the chain here and I wouldn't ever work for them. Let's just say I work in the backroom of a large company. They love their red and white as much as the bullseye on their front door. haha!

        BTW - I never said you worked for Valero. I was trying to relate a little, but whatever. There is just no relating with you!!!

          Poor Spydur

          There really is no relating to me. You implied my dear and of that, I am very cautious. lol
