The Silent Treatment
What kind of world am I in?
You see something you'd like.
You desire it.
You set your goals.
You give it all.
You go all in.
You pitch yourself towards the finish line.
You get nothing in return.
You get no position tags.
You get not success nor failure.
You get nothing in return.
You think to yourself.
You think, after all I've done, shouldn't I get something back.
You get nothing.
You think what kind of world is this.
You think, a world where nothing adds up.
You think, a world where logic doesn't reign supreme.
At least failure wouldn't be so bad.
At least what you did made a difference in a life.
At least you made a mark on someone's life.
At least it was worth something.
The silent treatment.
Every turn met by silence.
Every call replied with silence.
The sound of nothingless.
Will anything break this silence?
Will anyone break this silence?
Questions once again met with no answer.
The silent treatment...
