Does it really matter

Does it really matter others think
When your health is the concern
Should you sacrifice your wellness?
For the ability to work and to earn

When do you decide to make stand?
One that’s just for you and no one else
Can being selfish be the right pathway?
Should you put your feelings on the shelf?

How do you change your whole life?
When your health is getting bad
Do you let your worries inside you go?
And live a life feeling crook and sad

Do you let your boss control you?
Feeling guilty for not stepping up
Should you sit down face to face?
Then admit that enough is enough

Do you sacrifice your employment?
And maybe your whole career
Will it harm all the loved ones?
The ones that you hold so dear

Decisions have never been easy
They have torn my mind apart
Can I stop and then rebuild again
Could I make a brand new start?

My job is getting so much harder
My back and legs are getting week
Time is catching up with me
Soon the pension I will need to seek

It’s time to slow down a bit now
Stress can really kill you quick
The early signs are already there
When I’m often feeling a little sick

Does it really matter others think
When your health is the concern
Should you sacrifice your wellness?

For the ability to work and to earn
