Watch Your Back

In a crowded office, my dreams were tall,

But I’m just a number, ready to fall.

Every late night, my sweat and my tears,

Building their empire, while drowning in fears.

Promises made, but they fade like the light,

Just a cog in the wheel, lost in the fight.

They push you up high, then they let you go,

Once you’re out, it’s like you never showed.

Look in the mirror, what do you see?

A lesson in trust: it’s not for free.

So watch your back, don’t let them take,

The heart and the soul that you gave for their sake.

You’re not irreplaceable in their grand design,

A fleeting moment, just a dollar sign.

Time to reclaim the spirit inside,

No more serving on this burning tide.

Build your own path, find your own way,

In this ruthless game, it’s do or decay.

They’ll take and they’ll take, till you have no soul,

Leave you with nothing, just a broken goal.

But dust off your boots, you’re not done yet,

This is a chapter, not the last bet.

Feel the fire, let it guide your hands,

Craft your own fate, make your own stands.

Learn from the pain, don’t let it chain,

Through the darkest nights, there's light to gain.

So watch your back, don’t let them take,

The heart and the soul that you gave for their sake.

You’re not irreplaceable in their grand design,

A fleeting moment, just a dollar sign.

With lessons learned, I’ll pave my own road,

No longer a pawn, but the one with the code.

In this life of labor, I’ll redefine,

From the ashes, I rise, for I am mine.
