RestartA Poem by Joey Martinez
She's filled to the brim with stress and worry
Frantically pacing at work, moments away from attempting to scurry out the doors Aching to yell how she cant take it anymore This internship has her in a sunken ship of regret Thinking back to when she was a little girl wanting to grow up unaware of adulthoods responsibilities and debt Busting her a*s for an unpleasant check that barely let's her breathe Clocking out of work just to go home and get ready to leave once again That second job was needed ever since the landlord raised the rent All this time spent at work has her simple little mind going berserk No significant other to help cope with her stress So she goes down the block and buys some weed to put these nerves to rest She's hanging on by a thread But a smile is curved while her eyes lay low and red Enjoying her smoke while getting ready to cope with her unpleasant boss and joke of a second job And off she goes waiting for the bus to arrive Another adult with a child's heart wishing childhood never died © 2017 Joey Martinez |
