Self-Sabotage

we sabotage our self-worth

through pockets of emptiness

that are not ours to hold

competitive thoughts

distracting our purpose

aching for a calmer surface

for the mind to unfold

words spoken through narrative

even the passion for change 

is becoming a strange topic

as our hard-work belongs in the hands

of the CEO's pocket

this land is unjust

shaped by hierarchy and profit

your work should never define you

we ache for a status 

that does not exist 

dismissing truth and existence

we're all caught in this mix

Fleischhack, J. (2021) 'Normal' 

chasing dreams

through iPhone screens

this platform is false

'no i don't get your meme'

this is the real pandemic

sabotaging our self-worth

through false representations

this super sad generation

exposed to political madness

engulfed by celebrity sadness

how sad we must feel

to disconnect from our truths

procrastinating on an hourly basis

confined in our boxed sized rooms

Fleischhack, J. (2021) 'Freedom is Paramount'

we are exhausted

well i am for sure

whilst the rich build more status

the poor become more poor

we self-sabotage

to feel alive

this compulsory production

is forced labour

that doesn't work in our favour

shit the rent is due

the state stealing taxes

voices silenced when reacted

the outcomes are unjust

tired. exhausted. unheard

we sabotage our self-worth

by distracting ourselves from the truth
