Life...Seems Like It Is Limited – 1

Nafis Light

During My Holidays,
I Would Go Out To Unusual Places
and When It is Over,
I Would Feel Different In So Many Ways.

 

Obviously, it is to do with work...employment;
About six days a week being there;
It Feels Like My Life Is Tied To It
and I Couldn’t Truly Go For Something Different.

 

It went to the point of having dreams about the people there
and at times...have to focus on the future at that place;
To Go Out Is To Be Free;
A Change Of Place To Actually Be Me.

 

Well, at least I Could Still Do This;
The Little Time I Have Daily To Be Myself;
The Kind of Joker That I Am;
Not To Lose This Part of Me...Please.

 

Little Time...because the rest is for sleep
as well as relaxing;
Some Periods of...Meditating;
Perhaps...socializing as I Truly Am.

    I understand
    It's like a marrige.
    Sometime I want to go back to the me I used to be..not be responsible only for myself
    Sometimes it's as if breathing is rushed .
    Thanks for sharing😊
