I don’t want to do it — a poem of bored at work
I don’t want to do it
I don’t want to do what I do anymore
I have less time left on this earth than I have lived before
I don’t want to spend my precious time in endless meetings about meaningless things
Meetings where discussions about rules, compliance, and regulations are topics of kings
Of bosses and executives all serious and boring
Of workplace politics, gossip, and stories
What other people are doing doesn’t matter to me
I just want to be free to be me,
no more waiting for others to make up their mind about whether I’m important to them or matter enough to give me their time
I no longer have energy for others that they gladly take, enjoy, and leave me to mine
I do want adventure
Name the time and place
I’ll be there with all of me, courage with grace
Maybe explore the Amalfi Coast
Dine on pizza and chianti
Maybe even a little Operandi
Stop by at Mykonos
Blue water, white buildings
Relax kick back and forget about the boss
