The Job
1996 - 2002
Running and jumping 
not pacing myself 
trying too hard 
to keep up with the job 
and the stress 

Taking a break 
to go cry in the bathroom 
the tears begin rolling 
and I say to myself 
what's it all for? 

A possible future security 
and wealth 
steady income 
and assurance 
that I'm doing my job 
and I'm "working with the team" 

Once I lose sight 
of the life that surrounds me 
my thoughts become restless 
unsteady and fearful 
I tend to forget 
all the people that love me 
the person I am 
becomes mired 
in regret and anguish 

I am buried in work 
slaving for duty 
doing my best 
to stay ahead of the pack 
as it slowly kills me 

I am lost 
in an endless cycle 
of repetition and pointlessness 
and life becomes nothing 
but pain and health problems 

How do I escape?
