I do not yearn for higher places
Give me green and open spaces
Not for me the code of conduct
Nor the loyalty to the firm
Let me dance in fields of daisies
For expectations make me squirm
Not a trouble maker me
But a soul to be set free
Leave me in the cheapest seats
Where my fellow people meet
Where amidst the mess we dwell
Lower places serve me well
Bullet points and many words
Might impress the boardroom team
I'll stay with my intuition, seek to live my highest dream.

The thief of all that brought me joy has broken in this year
And stolen every ounce of joy and and all that I held dear.
He left a bag of sorrow and a box brim full of shame
And I now wait in terror in case he comes again.
But what is left to take now, what reason could there be
To visit once again so soon for what is left of me?
He's taken health, he's taken hope, he's taken love and dreams
And I am just an empty shell or that is how it seems.
And all I ever wanted was to have a chance, be me
So much for that, I fight no more, there's nothing I can be.
