be the change
be the change.
be the whole damn dollar.
be all one hundred cents,
one hundred per-cents.
don't talk about fair.
i know a lot isn't.
you can't change fair,
but you can change you.
breaking down the numbers:
one hundred percent their fault.
maybe ninety five.
if you're honest... maybe less.
the past three months,
seven days a week,
never once there four you.
three, seven, four.. eighty four.
you've established that.
it's mostly their fault.
but in this case,
it will be both of your loss.
the hardest person to change?
that's you.
the only person you can change?
that's you too.
give up what makes you less
to try and invest more
and see if they might be inspired
to pay you in kind
if you see some value in them
and some ugly in you,
then start handing it in.
as a down payment.
on the person you would want to be.
with them,
or without them.
with yourself.
too big to be broken down into change?
afraid what you are given back will be;
too small,
not enough.
your reward.
their risk, their responsibility,
isn't yours.
then,
in the long run,
you really wont be the one
that's been short-changed.
