A Word I Despise

Work, work, work.

So much work,

It's not even fun!


But when was it ever?


There's no time to write,

Even now I'm in a rush.

How to get my thoughts together,

When the fear of failing is immense?


Work, work, work.

It's all they seem to know,

It's all they ever give.

Where's the prize?

I work so hard,

People don't notice,

I need their regard.


They don't understand what weekends are.

We wait for them,

Since they are so, so, far.

Just out of freedom's grasp.

Then,

Guess what they give?


Work.


A word I despise.

Makes me want to burn my eyes.

But in the end. . .

The pride I feel,

Is worth it all.

My family's pride,

Is worth SO much more!


Schools here! And you know what that means? DROWNING IN WORK!  Y A Y ! (I'm sure you guys hear the sarcasm) Anyways thats why I've been so terrible with updating on time. I don't get a second to rest so when I do get that time, I get greedy with it lol Let me know your thoughts on the poem and leave a vote if you liked it ;)
