Though I'd rather be asleep
So I could dream and break free
From the morbid reality of this life
I'd rather be anywhere than here
I'm sick of seeing these same four walls
Over and over and over again
Why does it feel like such a chore
To live in this cruel world?
I don't understand why I'm here
I work to live and live to work
I'm missing friends and family
That've been lost through this journey
I want to feel like I belong here
I can't put up with this insipid existence
But I guess there's nothing
I can do about it. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 146 [topic] => 43 [informant] => StrangeLittleGirl [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Good read. There's so much to do and be interested in that there's no excuse for being bored *except* when you're at work and can't do any of it! The workplace is run by people who think of us as machines and the only motivators they provide are the minimal necessary to get by and then complain when people aren't productive - well duh!

Schools train people to be droids for corporations, but not to be business owners - that has become the goal for school these days, except for in the arts.

excellent write.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
