Worth

A
Pay rise that’s
Blown your mind.
Replay it over and
Over and
Unasked and unexpected
And made you fizzy
Dizzy with
Pleasure

It’s
A plaster to your
Bleeding fingers,
Glasses to your
Deadened eyes
A balm to your
Burnt out soul

They.
Noticed.

And now
Eager to please
You’ll work
Harder
Faster
Longer

The problem with
You is
You don’t know your
Own worth
