Uniform

Snakish

Once you achieve what you have planned other than what God or fate wanted you to become.

Did you actually achieved anything? Achievement just like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

But does that uniform mean that you achieve the goals that was your fate.

A goal in life changes like underwear after a late night.

The belief that the uniform makes the person is it really true or do all of those traits and snakish ways seems to always show through.

Is it a facade or painted bullship on a wall that really didn’t know if someone actually saw it fall.

I can’t paint a picture or even draw a simple stick figure.

But I do know when someone gets a little power and they wear the same uniform their ways becomes a little slicker.

Slicker than soapy water on the floor without a caution sign but who really knows.

Most might say that the person is like that because that’s who they are but once you play with the devil it change the game all along.

So do they think they are smarter but when you mess with a mystical creature.

Do you morphe into something new or was that you all along?

Sometimes playing games is just for children but however an adult was once a child.

However, throughout time they just got better.

I know me I am a people pleaser and now when I am mentally done how would I still want to be like that, but it depends on which humans I want to please that encourages me to be more than that.

The uniform shouldn’t define who you could be but what you have become now is way different than what you were so was it really worth it, by selling your soul for supposed dollars without all the perks.

With all of the uniforms you still have more of the duties plus the stress that was a trade for giving your best.

The best of what the uniform shows the force mandates with the name tag of a perceived victim turned victor of it all.

What do you actually win? When there is nothing really to win at all?

Besides being an adult child with a husband and nothing besides your parent to fall on

But it’s your uniform and not mines so at the end of the time you have to look for why is it truly not different from mines.

Labeled as the worst of them all and liar that will do anything to get to the top to just fall for all the nonsense of it all

So is that uniform really worth it all

Even when your boss don’t trust you at all because your snakish ways have changed after all.

Then you wonder why everyone is targeting you and you state it like it’s not your fault

So is it truly worth the uniform
