Working girl

by carolyn-cagnon

I start the day early, And I end it late. "Out for five" Means I'm out for eight. My soul is weeping, And my body aches. I have no energy, To deal with this stupidity, I need a fuckin break. Vacation denied, Another bottle of wine, Cigarettes to fill my time. Nicotine is my diet, And I'll sleep when I'm dead. "This is the life you've chosen," Well now my spirit's broken, And I want a bullet in my head. I'm too proud to crawl home, But I long for my comfort zone. Where does one turn when blind, War is raging within my mind, "Quit and go home dearie," But maybe I'll stay and go mad instead, Or maybe I'll just end up dead. Time clock, login, password, clock in... The mind numbing cycle continues, And now I'm too far in to quit. Fuck it....pull the fucking trigger, This working girl lost to something bigger.
