Working With a Letter Opener

A little burnt out from my job... 12 hours days are not f*****g fun...

 

Work work work

That’s all I'll do

Work work work

Dawn to noon

Work from the day into the night

Until I loose my sight

How sad it is not seeing the graceful moon

Feeling my world as a monsoon

Working and working

Never stopping to rest

If I don't stop

I'll stab myself in the chest

 

Hand me the Letter Opener

So I can finally rest

Give me the damn letter opener

So I can stab myself in the chest!!!

I'm done working

These 12 hour days

I swear every thing is just a stupid haze

Let me rest

at least de stress

Kiss my eyes

When I slowly die

So  can realize

that I couldn't survive...

Ah the working grind...How overwhelming it can be at times. I think everyone that has worked for any length of time can relate to the feeling that you have brought across here.

The last line was a bit confusing. I think a word might have been forgotton or something.

I like the color scheme, it shows the power of the stress that you describe. It also fits with the letter opener in the chest image.

GReat Write!
P.S. you'll survive! :)

I've worked 12 hour shifts too, so I understand. The stress our world hands
us sometimes we wonder if we can survive...but I see and feel strength in you:)

this sounds like me a week ago, when i was trying to tie up my thesis and graduate. This is universal because everyone has felt the hopelessness caused by the work grind... I'm so glad that I'm done for now, and I hope yours lets up soon as well. Lovely piece.

Definetly. They truly are a grind especially if you have one of those jobs were you have very little to do the whole time until some type of chaos occurs and then you have to handle it. I can feel your pain.

I really like the 'hectic' font. And the poem sets a frenetic pace. I feel the pain. Nice job.

Powerful motion and depth in this piece that drives home the hellish workdays for so many!!! Deep and dark and amazingly vivid... The image of manic night you create is incredible!!!
