On second thought....

On second thought....

A Poem by Lockedheart

Oh god 
what have I done 
traded a career and stability 
for temporary fun 

following passions 
chasing them around
also makes me pay attention 
to grocery store markdowns

I'm tired of this 
exhausted and unimpressed 
terrified I can't afford 
what life throws at me next 

choke down the thoughts 
in the back of my mind
that I was never good enough 
and I'm falling behind 

worry follows me through 
the day and the night 
if I achieve everything I wanted 
then, will I finally be alright?
