PILLOW BENEATH MY HEAD
The days can be long. life is beautiful, life can be a battle,
Go to work and give all you have to the corporate plan.
The world is so fast now, keep up with the pace,
Fight it if you choose, get left in the dust.
Eyes can get blinded by events of the day,
Deafness to the ears when so much noise is heard.
Like a scary movie or a happy ending may be shown,
The way of the world is to fight and scramble till sleep
And tired takes you away.
I feel so tired and worn out on some days,
When the sun goes down and a shower feels so clean,
A hot dinner made, the lights go out and a pillow beneath my head.

So true, I wish it wasn’t this way. By the time we can retire, it’s too late to enjoy traveling or physical activity, we spend 40 hr/work week until we can’t work anymore. Sad.
Thanks so much for your thoughts.
Thanks for reading.
