I Am The Crew

Location

I am the crew

Working backstage prepping you

Making sure you look right and

Think perfect thoughts

Ready to face the world

I watch from backstage

Hand you bottles of confidence as

You come for a break

I sit in wait for your troubles

And help you conquer them so that

the world can see you

the way that you want them to

 

I chose this life

A life of waiting on you

Organizing your life, making it bearable

Understanding that my own time

Came second

Sometimes I won't even think about me

I'm too busy making sure you're all prepped

And have what you need

 

I am the crew

I am the backstage of groups

Of communities

Of society

Created to wait on you

I feed only off of your success

It helps me help you

Help others

We, the crew

 

We the crew who wait on you

We have our own lives, don't get me wrong

But we're so afraid of distraction

Of disappointing you,

Of failing you,

That we rarely get a chance to think of oursekves

We think of each other, but can never find on another

It's like we live in seperate dimensions

All distracted with different tasks

Unable to jump in the rabbit hole and

Escape from your lives

 

The crew

You rarely think of us

Remember us

But we are what make you, you

We bring success to you

And we ask nothing in return

No retribution

Because we, thew crew

Gain flife rom helping you
