the black hole in my soul

dont question my madness
it just shadows my sadness
cuz it seems gladness and glee
were never meant for me
i guess im juz destined to be
a fool who'll forever live unhappily...
now i wander this earth
awaiting my hearts rebirth
and for my life to gain worth ...
all hopes and dreams seem to have been replaced
by sorrow and despair which i now must embrace
and such is my case
like a turtle trapped in this rabbit race
moving steadily at my own pace
cuz ive been crippled by this brace
this darkness in my heart which i cannot erase
u might not see it in my face
but of the man i used to be there is only a trace ...
life's a 10 second car that i just cant steer
often find myself wondering why i am here
cuz life is bitter like cheap beer
it'll hit u hard and make you drop a tear
but i cant just continue to live in this fear
might need a microscope to look for my chear ...
i have to escape from this black hole
cant let it continue to devour my soul
its turned my heart black like a small piece of coal
dey say u go down to come up cuz thats just how life rolls
so it seems to be happy i must pay this toll .

how much emotional labor is associated with the food and service industry in america?

i intend to ask questions such as: what kind of jobs did you have before this? how long have you been working in this field? what does your daily routine consist of? haveyou ever had a customer who really aggravated you? do you enjoy your work? do you feel like you have to hide your own emotions and pretend that nothing is wrong with you for the customers sake? how alienanating would you say your job is?
