Feeling unappreciated

Is there sense in giving so much of yourself?

There's no guarantee you'll get what you're working toward

You're practically a tool on a shelf,

Used and forgotten until necessary again,

You rust and get replaced but not released until you end up in a landfill with all the other rust

You give your time and your energy and you don't even get a simple Thank You.

You're being taken for granted

You're being taken as a given

You're very being has become a matter of course for them

You've been enslaved again
