is getting ahead top of your vocabulary?
did it cost a tuppence virtue
and all of your integrity?
was it just once way back when?
or is it repeated time and again?
is productivity the door you knock
regardless of what you’re forced to hock?
how many did you leave behind
on the path of addiction
controlling your mind?
did you ignore what’s sweet and pure
in favour of the rush you needed more?
When will you break,
When will you fall?
When will you look back,
and feel sorry for it all?

Wow, very deep. Excellent writing ✨
Beautifully introspective, Kayleigh. You have a wonderful talent of hitting all the right emotional buttons. Job well done as always!
I agree with Mike. Although, not having to worry about money would be nice 😉. Nice work here. Really makes you think
A lot of thoughtful observations here, lots of people have to be on top or make money at any cost. I want to be happy in life and the things I do
Oooo, that certainly was thought provoking. Loved your poem+
