My Work Here Is Done

I’ve provide some joy to a few
Amusement to others
Called some friends
Treated some as sisters and brothers.
It looks like my work here is done.

Arrogant and sarcastic
Wit and occasional insight
I tried for humor
Didn’t always avoid the verbal fight
It looks like my work here is done.

I thought I made friends
I thought I found even more
I answered a call
Then I was shown the closing door
I guess my work here is done.

I believed I found
My destiny, my fate
I trusted every word
From my true soul mate
All of my work here is now done.

It may not seem like much
What I gave
But it was all that I had
Not a thing did I save
Not much more to do, my work here is done.

A means to an end
A blame, a lightning rod
Cast aside with a note
And a nod
I’ve done all I can, my work here is done.

Some of the best work
I’ve ever done
This time I will leave much in my wake
I’ve also spent all I have
Not much left for me to take.

I spent it for others
Though none seem to understand the cost
Or believe exactly what it is
I feel I’ve lost,
But there is really not much more I can say
I simply must prepare to be on my way
All I can do
My work here is done.
