AWARD WORKER OF THE YEAR
<p>They spent their youth clocking dreams into another man’s empire,</p><p>Breath after breath leased to a future that never bore their name,</p><p>Fire in their bones dimmed to routine, to “yes sir”, to survival,</p><p>While their own visions starved quietly in the dark of delay,</p><p>Hands building ladders they were never permitted to climb,</p><p>Time clapped for effort but never questioned ownership,</p><p>And in the end they were crowned Award Worker of the Year.</p><p><br/></p><p>They wore exhaustion like a badge, polished pain into performance,</p><p>Called sacrifice wisdom while their purpose begged for attention,</p><p>Measured success in salaries that could not buy back lost years,</p><p>Served another man’s legacy like it was divine assignment,</p><p>Ignored the mirror that kept asking “what about you?”,</p><p>Silenced the voice that knew they were meant for more,</p><p>And still the applause came Award Worker of the Year.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now listen</p><p>The tragedy is not work, but forgetting to work on yourself,</p><p>Not labor, but living a life that never learned your name,</p><p>Not effort, but direction handed to you without question,</p><p>For one day time will retire your body without consulting your dreams,</p><p>And titles will echo louder than purpose if you are not careful,</p><p>So rise before the crown becomes your cage,</p><p>Or end your story celebrated… but empty Award Worker of the Year.</p>
