Waking up before sunrise.
Dragging your tired body out of bed.
For what?
A job that underpays you.
A system that doesn’t care.
A salary that disappears before the 10th.
Every morning feels like a heavyweight.
Not just with the alarm clock,
But with your will to keep going.
Sometimes I ask myself:
Is this really what life is supposed to be?
Get up.
Go to work.
Come back broken.
Sleep.
Repeat.
It’s not that I don’t want to work.
I just want to live.
Really live.
But right now… I’m surviving.
Barely.
Painfully.
Exhaustedly.
But maybe there's a point to this.
And perhaps you're not alone, I guess that keeps us going.
