Self Employed

I don't get paid by the hour, 
I'm employed by a higher power, 
Blooming like a flower, 
Opening up to empower, 
It was never about the dollar, 
As I shower my world with wisdom, 
Breaking apart the old system, 
Abundance comes in with them, 
Taught to condemn ourselves, 
We keep dreams on shelves, 
As we delve into endeavors, 
Just to make us feel better, 
Work going on forever, 
Now looking for pleasure, 
Release the pressure, 
You are the treasure, 
Worthy of your measure, 
Grab the tether and pull, 
Until your cup gets full.
