Constricting, pulsating, inhibiting
I'm caught beneath the waves of discontent
Flashing forward, deleting delight
I awake alone regretting restraint
No such things as peaceful nights
Terror dreams telling me how I feel
In waking states I still feel the pull
To return to unreality in sync with fear
I believe in purposes and destinies
Somehow mine is lacking, leaving, lost
To the sadness and prevention of life
The life of one who could give more, more, more...

I'm trapped in my job. I work 50 miles from home, I travel a total of 3 hours a day on average. I don't understand my job, the rules change all the time, my supervisor doesn't listen to me even tho he tells me to talk to him. I've been in it since May 2009, and right now I'm on my 17th sick day, having been signed off by the doctor for workplace anxiety and stress.
