Conveniently Committed

Living to prove oneself —
yet bruised by unfair experiences.
Commitment on convenience:
like a light switch,
flipped at their whim —
left in the dark.
Stabbed in the back.
Suck it up!
Your heart, just the bark of a tree.

Some want the fruit,
but not the growth of the tree.
They love the shiny stuff,
but not the shining system.
It may glitter — but it’s not gold.
That fine grass?
Just looks good ’cause it was mowed.

They set the standard
others must uphold,
specific on what others should do,
but vague on what they should do.
Never pay the price —
with zero skin in the game.
