Many feel stuck in jobs or careers that leave one feeling hollow or at best unfulfilled. I certainly am no different than most. Along comes Steemit providing a creative outlet for those of us whose artistic potential hasn't had the nurturing it deserves for some time. The photos contained are of my actual desk at work. Like many, I spend most of my day stuck in an office slaving away for someone else's benefit.
Steemit - freeing creative minds stuck in the daily grind...
Daily Grind
Mundane and bland is the grind
Bored day in and day out
Slowly going out of my mind
This is not what I was meant to be
Chained to desk in office tower jungle
Typing, checking and stamping so drudgingly
Busy as a bee, like a drone I toil
But my mind wanders distantly
From the cage that makes my blood boil
Far away it floats in search of fulfillment
A rewarding existence it seeks
A place that fills soul with contentment
We were each born to be creator
Our oppressors are its suppressor
A free spirit destined to be greater
As heart pours its song across the pages
Tales of rhyme, prose and creativity
Frozen in testament of freedom of the mind for all the ages
Shared in kind with those of free spirit
Thought for thought, emotion and feeling
Gathering momentum it gives birth to Steemit
A place where minds can be free
Victims no more of cageless prisons
Able to express and feel as meant to be
Free In Thought, 2016
