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
