You’ve been trying
For too long
You try your best
But something’s wrong.
Time’s slipping by
You need a change
So quit that job
Then start again.
Behind the counter
Far from view
For way too long
Who could see you?
New faces … places
A new routine
A brand new future
You should be seeing.
New friends …. adventures
Waiting for you
Your hopes … your dreams
Should all come true.
Reach in your pocket
Check that lotto
Cash in those chips
They’re waiting for ya.
Come out of hiding
Stop your whining
Get off your butt
Get up … start trying.
Who cares about
All the excuses?
All the hot chicks
Are on the cruises.
You sit at home
Play videos
Put down that phone
Get up and go.

Thank you, Felicia! This poem was written about my niece. She has been working at the same job for many years and apparently feeling unappreciated. She found the courage to walk away and has begun a new journey. She inspired me to write this poem. 💙
