Oh yeah I can relate to your angst.
I feel this all the time but sometimes we just have to stop for a moment and magic can be found in life.
Honest and moving piece.
Well done, I liked it |

Oh, I can relate to this...work....*groan*
I like the format you wrote this in, with the appropriate italics, and I thought your expression was well formed also...I personally wouldn't change a thing. The picture suits this piece perfectly too, and it gave me a laugh, and....a cry....lol ; )

Splendid showcase of day to day grind just trying to survive. I love the graphic. It is exactly what it feels like sometimes. You run and run and stress and stress and still come up late and needing more. It is not the big traumas in life that wear us down, it is daily life.

I also love it Blue..
and feel your frustration too as well.
Personally, I would like to see a bit more,
reflecting the whole "enslaved animal" metaphor..
as this would be a most fitting write to use it in,
as we ALL are, at one time or another.
I do love it though, as is.
It's wonderful.
(the image as well)
a "New Yorker Magazine" feel to it..
