I’m tried of working myself into an early grave
What do you think? I’m your personal slave
You never give all you do is take and take
I’m tried of this crap I need a break
Fifty-five plus hours every single week
I’m sick and tried and I feel so bleak
You’re my landlord, my boss, and a vampire
Go ahead and fire me if you so desire
Every cent I make goes towards rent
No change in my pocket, not even lent
You suck the life out of me until I’m dry
There’s nothing left not even a tear to cry
My son hates me cause I’m never home
This makes me sad and I feel all alone
Please tell me what I’m working for?
All I do is work, no life I’m a real bore
I try and tell you what I feel and think
You say I need therapy go see a shrink
Moaning and groaning has gotten me nowhere
Cause in all honesty you really don’t care
All you care about is the all mighty buck
News flash you’re the reason my life suck
I’ve taken a moment to let this all out
So later I won’t have to scream or shout
Please tell me what you think

Wow. I am just at a lose for words. You are such a great poet. I love reading your work. Thanks again for yet another wonderful read.

Well earned voicing of your complaints....If he would listen..Well written.. How many like you have this complaint....I would even though not perfect rhyme use sucks...because that is the proper word....Sounds like daddyo needs to have a reality check about sharing the load...You are one tired Mamma, wife and woman! Liked your form, and frank straight talking and some humour!
...Love your Penguins hugging....I love penguins....That is precious! Sometime I may ask for the photo for a poem.....if you don't mind!

Promise...sing
Perhaps it is worthwhile taking time out to view other options ... in France for example the maximum working week is 35 hours and minimum holiday around 6 weeks
Without wishing to question the message and while sharing outrage against societal exploitation perhaps this composition could benefit from tightening so as to heighten the effect while retaining the underlying emotion intact.
Also ... freewill exists and there are ways and means to switch from over exploitation to 'pure' exploitation or 
Hoping this is construed as constructive criticism ... -

Wow, this whole poem is so intense. I don't dislike this, but I just think that it needs a little tweaking. I don't like how, whinny it is.
