Passionate but exploited
Engaged but exhausted
Dedicated but depleted
Focused but drained
Inspired but shackled

Sounds like writer's block. But you pulled through just fine. ; )
Lol
First and last lines - grave concern.
Middle three - rest up.
Yep, just me dusting off my violin to play at my own pity party. But writing it out loud made me feel better. 🙂
You didn't do too badly - you kept very much in tune. 😊
Lol I guess the pity party started because I was out of tune. 🙂

Those shackles are now released through your words Jane.

I think you are right, Andy. And happy belated birthday.
It can get like that sometimes but giving up clearly isnt in the cards so i will see this is a positive poem from a caring soul
I do love the people I work with, and giving up on them has never been an option. Thank you SC.
an Artisan's plight: within Modernity's, reality
how sobering
your insightful commentary, captures
struggles of those, integrity impassioned
with fervent intent, to actualise
their hopes and dreams
but finding their path's: forever blockaded
by society's crude mechanisms
of bottom line profiteering, ideology
and glutinous greed's, narcistic sycophancy...
(A profound write, dear poet)
Wow - Right on the mark. The government signs my paycheck, and getting anything done requires a ton of frustrating paperwork.
