Somebody's Fool

all my life,

I have been somebody’s fool,

doing the shit jobs,

being the chump,

taking bullets for the team,

falling on my sword,

watching as others took the credit,

working so somebody else

could climb the corporate ladder,

pretending that it didn't matter,

giving until there was nothing

left to give,

holding the anger inside,

tasting the bitterness,

until bitterness was all

that was left;

all my life,

I have been somebody’s fool;

this world will use you up,

until there is nothing left,

then toss you aside

like yesterday’s garbage,

if you allow it,

laughing as you desperately

try to hold on;

eventually,

everybody loses;

all my life,

I searched for something

or someone, to whom

I could give my allegiance,

a King worth dying for,

a leader holy and righteous,

someone who deserved

all that I had to give,

then I found Him;

or rather He found me.
