Seven Years

  

Seven years invested

But no return yielded

Just seems like a waste,

And a slap on the face

 

I gave my time

I shared my talents

But I got no thanks

Not that any are really needed

 

Yes, this goes two ways

But in the end

It is about community

No person should suffer alone

 

Yet alone I was

And alone I still am

No one has reached out

And I doubt they will

 

I am waiting on a call

Better not hold my breath

As it could be a long wait

Going on past experiences

 

I feel rejected and am hurting

But I need to overcome this

As I bet no sleep is being lost

Over my decision to leave
