Workaholic

Do you ever take a break ?,

Work controls every choice you make,

Up all hours of the night,

Finishing paper work before morning light,

Traveling from place to place,

Running errands at a super fast pace,

These deadlines can’t wait,

Your are going to eat every last bit on your plate,

You can’t relax,

Always relying on the facts,

Taking every note,

Too many business meetings can’t remember all the words that were spoke,

Friends asking if you can go out,

You never go and if you do works what you are thinking about,

Your minds always on business,

You don’t relax and plenty of people can be a witness,

Mind and body constantly on go,

But you work hard because it’s all you know,

Keep on grinding everyday,

Beacause that’s the workaholics way.
