Work Ethic

Work ethic, work ethic, work ethic.

Isn’t any good sitting round,
Crying,
Moaning,
Hiding.

On the couch,
With a duvet and a pillow,
Like life’s a storm to wait out.

Work ethic.
Get to working,
Get to creating.
Make something.
Don’t apologize for it.
Make it breathe.
Work ethic.

Get your hands dirty.
Give yourself to the work.

No one has a ladder for you,
So build your own.
With sweat,
Blood.

Work ethic.

The only person between you and the void,
Is you.

Work ethic.

Now fucking get to it.
