I took an overdose
And the doctor
Thankfully didn't admit me
I did spend 8 weeks at home.
I was a responsible adult now.
I had to go back to work.
I signed a new contract
When I was still
Under the weather
And it was for
Half the hours.
And the supervisor
Would say I could have a lie in.
I told my co-worker
That having a lie in
Wouldn't pay my bills.

Then it was the infamous
Work nights out
Freds boss asked me
If I was still part-time
At my work.
So I got a second job
And then went
To an evening class
At college.
I needed that little push.
It took me back
To being at training
And the chief instructor
Calling me a part-timer
And my dead beat father
Who never worked for over a decade
Saying that my job
Was a cop out
As my contract was only 28 hours.
They were so narrow minded
