Acrostic----Endline Word

I figured I would post a Acrostic/End-Line poem as a guide for my new contest. Plus,
I just really needed to get this out!! 

**Writing Freelance**


Withering away, everyday nine to five______________I
Really needed to escape the grind, it_____________Was
Inevitable my writing skill would start___________Working 
To find freedom financially, it has been____________Hard
Intoxicated with success, ambitious and ready________For
New obstacles. Struggling and broke for_______Someone else's
Glory. Now I can work less make more while on____Vacation


Forty plus hours weekly, seven and a half__________Years
Raises scarce. No car, walked to and from___________for 
Endless stress, a chess game I lose daily.._________Nothing
Elegant about living check to check!_________________I 
Live within my means but still scraping by___________Just
Another citizen down and out. What I_____________Needed
Never given, I am self made. My dreams_____________To
Carry my writing further, profit and_______________Escape
Elevate. Rise from this lower level corporate_____Imprisonment

Wow Wow Wow - saw the contest yesterday but how can I think of writing for this when the judge is such an incredible a poet. Whole story in a fantastic format. You have changed my life with my collaborations Jared and for that I cannot thank you enough - posted another one with Darren today. Hugs Jan x
