I Know Someone

"Once Upon a Time" I knew someone on the frontlines of Hell

I'd assume they'd rather be watching "Better Call Saul"

No, she's an "Outlander" in reality

She has bills to pay and a "Full House" and "Fuller House" to feed

She doesn't have time for any "Family Guy"

And have "Bob Ross: Beauty is Everywhere" reassure her

Because she is a determined worker

And she wears the "Suits"

And holding "The Crown" of that is no easy task

But the world was never "The Good Place"

Whether COVID's "Breaking Bad" or not

So she concludes at the end of the day

Written on a sticky-note abover her bed

That she "wouldn't rather be doing anything else"

...

So at the end of the day, tired and worn

She looks in the "Black Mirror" at who she's become

A sad reality show of "Grey's Anatomy"

More like "Schitt's Creek" or "The Walking Dead"

Bags under eyes, hair full of unrest

Her soul smiles to her cheeks and she knows

That every ounce of working long-hours

Is worth it

Even if it only saves a single life

...

But here I am lying next to "Friends" and "Community"

Complaining about my lack of social-access

And that the fridge is running low

But these people I know don't live with the "Elite" either

As they give up so much

I'm stuck here pondering and

Wondering "13 Reasons Why"

It's "The End of the F***ing World"
