To whom it may concern
It seems like everything I do goes unnoticed
Work my fingers to the bone and nobody knows it
I'm not asking for thank you cards and roses
but if my work ethic shifted from where it is to far below it
just think where you would be and then verbally show it
But there's no chance for that, you're too self absorbed to see my focus
I see that you'll probably frown when you know why I wrote this
Consider this my two week notice.
Style / type:
Free verse
Last few words:
Rough couple of weeks, this is my therapy. I'm not stupid enough to quit my job in this economy, but it helps tremendously to at least write it down.

I like this.
I like this.
Short and to the point,
and although the subject matter is serious,
it has a charm that would merit a good poem on something less sad,
but this is your theme, and within it you expressed yourself so well.
"Thank you cards a roses" did you mean AND roses?

well
stanza two line two
should that be or roses
perhaps it is your style but I find this to be more of a statement than poetry
sorry
