leaving
I quit work today
said fuck it
flipped 'em the bird
through the out door
went about my way
felt so good
finally free
able to go live and be
now I have time
can rebuild blessed energy
conquer my quests
maybe just sit down to rest
where skies can paint
while I am underneath
to see with freedom
read Beautiful poetry
Ahhhhhhhhhh
hands of time
securely mine
where a parasitic tick
turns to a given
I breathe my dreams deep
caressed lovingly
at least...
till Monday

I wish I had the courage to walk away from the things that keep me from that peaceful feeling. Great poem - makes me think about what I should be doing instead of what I feel I have to do.

Thank You Dear Petit-indeed times I wish I had the courage too---we do what we can how we can-self preservation is always key in those decisions-sometimes needs outweigh ramifications of wants.

Re: leaving
I think everyone can relate to this composition. The attitude some have taken which seems to work is that being drawn away from the pleasurable pursuits has given them a greater appreciation for the time that can be spent and using it to the fullest. Too much leisure time and like many other things we start to take it for granted.
Love the ending---some things just have to be done!

Sometimes one needs to re charge the inner self, and connect to somewhere safe and deep, know that feeling, Soul!

We all want to do this but are scared to take the first step as finding another form of employment is so hard. However, staying in a job which is really uncomfortable, is not healthy and I think your poem and you know that.....
