Controlled by work

Work controls and dictates my life

Gets in the way of my need to write

Working for the money just to survive

It’s not how I wish to live my life

But changing this is not that easy

Yet I keep on believing

False hope maybe I don’t really care

I have s dream that I am willing to share

However the system keeps us in a servile state

My dream may happen but far too late

But I continue on, regardless of this

I feel that work takes more than it gives

Leaves me aching tired and stressed

Villas get higher, wage is worth less

So it’s important to find new ways

To try and get through everyday

And writing does this for me

Allows me to relax and feel at peace and free.

  2. Hit home for me. As I write very early in morning, it gives me a sense of achievement and self- belief before I even go to work, thus minimizing the job’s impact on my mental state….Thanks!
