Somewhere on the road
My worth was redefined
Productive
Driven
A workhorse
It’s a rollercoaster
It’s a hamster wheel
An endless round
Of relentless tasks
Driving me so far
From myself
Pulling me away
Until I dim the lights
Play the music
And let the words have their way
Spending time
On a value only I can see
Spinning worlds
Out of air
Bowing out of the race
That was never
Mine to run – Caroline A. Slee
