Outsider

Too much work for  
too little payoff
but you still come around  
expecting a change
waiting for change
like an end of the world billboard.
 
really don't accept titles  
with much pride  
or grace
 
don't acknowledge
what leads to compromise
 
and just don't understand
what all the fuss is about
in the first place.  
 
stare at the vein  
like you could feel the blood,
but you're just a spectator
with delusions of a pulse.
