overworked.

overworked.

A Poem by nigrum homonculus
"

this morning, i came home from work at 2am. i started work at 11am. tell me.....is that fair?

"

The mind tires as the body works harder.

The sun met me as I left the house

It didn’t wait for me as I left work.

 

Alone in the dark on crowded highstreets.

Pushing through the combine with aching arms.

Just like me they were, lights and clockwork.

 

Overworked I am,

Exhausted, drained, you name it.

Full time punching bag waiting for pay day.

 

Is it really worth it?

Seriously…..

Is it really worth it.
