Poetry challenge - Day 8

Just thinking about what makes me happy, and what I did last time when I was feeling like this - one of the answers to this question is writing poetry. So, leveraging this one, I will write one piece of poetry per day for the next 21 days. Enjoy it!

Relentless (11.10.2022)

​

Always doing the grunt work,
never ever stopping
to think for a moment, or two.

Thinking is forbidden,
defiance means
living the life you want,
by being the one you need to be

And then, in this life
or the next, strive,
drive and go in the back of your mind.

You know that place,
you can't avoid it forever,
the crossroad of 'what could've been'
and ' It never happened'.
