Fuck the hustle

Don't ask me my end game  
why do you think I need one?  
Can I do something  
just for the love of it?  
without ascribing it  
some monetary value?  
 
I'm tired of the idea  
that I need to hustle  
that I'm just a money-making machine  
in a flesh suit  
all I have to do  
is forget to eat  
never sleep  
and pretend like my kids  
won't hate when they're older  
cause I was too busy  
chasing the cash cow  
rather than spending  
meaningful time with them  
 
I lived that childhood  
and I would have traded  
upper-middle class suburbia  
for quality time spent with a father  
that wasn't a high functioning  
alcoholic asshole  
that cared more about dollar signs  
than knowing his kids  
 
So don't ask me  
what my end game is  
I don't have one
