Freedom
Leaving work today
felt like work release
my job is easy peasy
hate it anyway
pay good benefits fine
my soul wants more
i yearn to create
something meaningful
i have many regrets
this–my biggest one
spent my life there
eight different jobs
not one fulfilling
saw this online
a paycheck is a bribe
to keep you from
fulfilling your dreams
this hit hard
it’s true
I’m guilty
Monday nights
i get a knot in my belly
Tuesday is day one
Working on an
escape plan
One day I’ll be free

Great work capturing the angst of a “fine, pays the bills” job
You captured the feeling of finding that fulfilling job!
I hope you can find fulfillment elsewhere! Like in poetry…
