I wasn’t made for this.
I want off this ride.
I’ll take the exit.
Student loans
Mortgage
Car payment
Hustle hobbies
Market yourself
Have a presence everywhere
Engage, produce, do more.
Never sleep
Always look fresh, fit, fab.
Do it for the planet,
The children,
Pay more taxes
For the corporations
Profiting from the exhausted.
Be brave, no make up, but filtered,
Strategic lighting and angles
Hair down to hide the crows feet
40 hours on the clock, but the stress keeps ticking
It was never about the stapler.
