‘Good job’
they said.
Plauge my mind with satisfaction
Instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel and aiming higher.
Good job.
Break me down
create a throne
of complacency
sit tight and say, “shit I did do a good job.”
Sink arrows deep into my chest
and relieve me of this art.
The art of work.
The art of consistency.
The art of being great.
