When I was young and homeless and ignorant and had no self esteem
You took me in, gave me food, clothing, safety, training, community, challenges, a paycheck
From your patience when I screwed up I learned to keep trying
From your teaching I learned a path to survival
All you asked was a few years of work and maybe for me to take risks
But even then you taught me how to take risks as safely as possible
Oh wait
No
Sorry, that was the military, ha! Whoops, you didn't fucking help one bit. You just sat on your ass whining with no solutions.
Oh well, maybe next time!
