Full Time

I am a worker full time. Every day, twenty four seven. Most people are, yet they don't realize it. The jobs are tough, and they take a lot of hard work. I am always waist deep in work and thoughts. I am a daughter, Bound to do my best at everything, Bound to be polite and kind, Bound to be the best me I can be. I am a sister, Bound to take care of my sibling, Bound to love and be loved. Bound to fight for protection. I am a girlfriend, Bound to care for my other, Bound to understand and be understood, Bound to love with everything I can muster. I am a student, Bound to be perfect, Bound to make honors, Bound to get 100's only. I am an athlete, Bound to show up, Bound to push the bounds, Bound to be first. I am a musician, Bound to love my product, Bound to learn and figure it out, Bound to play what I want. I am an artist, Bound to be creative, Bound to put time into everything, Bound to listen to me. I am a worker full time. Every day, twenty four seven. Most people are, yet they don't realize it. The jobs are tough, and they take a lot of hard work. I am always waist deep in work and thoughts.

This is a beautiful poem, the pattern of it makes it so powerful and strong. And what you write about is so true too, that's what we do, don't we? Sort of daydreaming.
