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.
