Do not ask how I am feeling

You should know that answer

I bend myself over backwards

And then you demand that I do it side ways

We are not lovers, you, and I

What we have is a matter of agreement

I work for you and you pay me for my time.

That is all you are to me.

You make it sound like we are all one family

And yet, there are clearly more favored than others

So, do not ask me how I am feeling

Ask yourself instead.

How would I like to be treated this way

How would I like to be used and abused and then demanded more of?

With still the same compensation as before….

If you answered no, to these questions,

Then perhaps you are just like me…

And this we can share as a common bond

However

If you answered yes to any of these,

Then I hate to inform you,

That you are either delusional

Or simply management

And in this case my friend

It appears that you are already lost

So do not ask me how I am feeling

Unless you really want to know the answer
