When life and work is weighted against you

I drown under the weight of expectation

And yet despite all of my dedication,

I have found out this life doesn’t reward those

Who put the work in and try with purpose,

To be the best in their field, to be the most skilled

Only to see others rise above them and prosper,

In spite of the fact they are lacking what is needed

Jobs for the boys and connections i still believe is,

The essential trait and requirement to get on

And call me gullible and foolish but it’s so wrong.
