Another Tired Rant

Another tired rant
12+ hrs, back -to back- to back
Burned in dementia land
Watch the weeds grow in the grove
Back track, and dismantle
Boot the best, who cares about the rest
So to new facility I go
Horrified, sub-quality I now know
New routines and paper-work
In time, in my sleep can work it
Just can't do it, say "fuck-it"
Just cant let it slide...
How dare U deride,
Laugh and mock our elders so
Oh dear God,
Give me patience, not to beat them so,
I so need my job
To you, perhaps, just a shitty job
To me, compassion exemplified.
Is it my curse
To hear lost sanity calling
When others laugh at a life
A life of progressive confusion
My heart bleeds
My anger boils
Am I cursed?
To be so alone,
Alone, I hear
The humanity in insanity
Alone, I demand compassion care
Alone, on the the line
Defend my beloved dementia care
On my sleeve, my heart I wear
Crusted, scared, and bleeding
To the office again am called
To justify
My unjustified demands
Of QUALITY care, in dementia land
Oh, hell, just fuck it
Trying to keep my mouth shut
Oh, hell, just fuck it

Am I cursed?
To be so alone,
Alone, I hear
The humanity in insanity
Alone, I demand compassion care
Alone, on the the line
Defend my beloved dementia care
Just can't seem to escape it
Gave my savings away
On credit cards I plan
My next grand adventure getaway
Called to the office again
Stood my ground, dare you to laugh again
Shit, just may not have a job again!
Am I cursed?
To be so alone,
Alone, I hear
The humanity in insanity
Alone, I demand compassion care
Alone, on the the line
Defend my beloved dementia care
Fuck-it, guess I'm just plain nuts
Fuck-it, as long as I stand
Don't dare deride my beloved nuts.Just can't seem to escape it.
