Drag myself to work each day
My attitude gets in the way
Look straight ahead wearing a smile
Even though I’m a bit beguile
Assignments are there to be done
Laugh or two gives us fun
End of my day I'm ready to leave
Shut my door and have my tea…
Author notes
Your Prompt:
Oh, look, there you go again
Puttin' on that smile again
Even though I know you've had a bad day
Doin' this and doin' that
Always puttin' yourself last
A whole lotta give and not enough take
But you can only be strong so long before you break

Excellent:
Yes, work is stressful.
This poem really brings that out.
Nicely done.
What I can take away from reading this poem is that work is hard but hey you still must work, and you can do it diligently.
Thanks for sharing love.
