I was trying to keep my cool
Not to be drama queen
but my cracked head made me write this poem anyway!
Its my 10th year in Corporate World!
What an achievement that’s what they say.
But damn Covid for making my 10th year idle!
17 months of NO VACATION and counting!
Dedicated employee, sigh.
I was asked if how is work, or what I do
I rolled my eyes for receiving same questions since 19
But now I found the right answer thanks to Sam.
“I am Corporate Slave!”
The best way to describe handling tenders!
Reading every pages from cover to cover
Trying my best to understand its terms and conditions
Having this chicken brain is indeed a real struggle!
Hit my deadline by hook or by crook!
Or else all blame comes to me left and right!
I am though, strict, and too critical.
I don’t want excuse only results
So lets get the shit done no matter what!
At work they say am Anna Wintour
Surely like her my colleague call me monster as well!
But when they meet me outside office
They say I have kid inside which they are dying to see.
Indeed I have two face
So don’t confuse yourself when you meet!
At work or somewhere else.
I perfectly separate my work from personal life.
People say Corporate Work is awesome!
Coat and tie in an air condition room
Just seating from 8-5
How I wish they been there and tell me the same way
For it was honestly not that easy.
For every dream you need to pay a price
I paid mine so much with interest
I give up my youth and live like am 40 when I join.
It is the best way to survive and not to hang myself
For in this world its not about the IQ
Rather its about you handling stress
So if your mentally or emotionally weak
Perhaps this world isn’t for you!
Cha has told me many times
“I want a simple life”
And so Sam and I agree
perhaps we giggle and imagine ourselves
3 headed monster dreaming about life
While living in Corporate Life!
Live on keep dreaming that’s what we always say
We are called maam or sir
Attending glamorous meeting
Talking about millions of money
But believe me our dreams is to live in Farm Place.
Have simple life without needing to attend meeting,
Phone call, emails.
Drink our 1st coffee in the morning so calmly!
Cook our breakfast,
Water our plants and vegetables
Wear our pajama and have life none stop chitchat!
