Work Sets Me Free

Awake at eight fifteen.
Routine keeps me clean,
and stops me from dreaming
that I'm not a machine
but a human being.

I work all day, every day.

Work is me.
Work sets me free.
Work gives me a purpose to live each day.
Work gives me the perfect way to turn my back,
on everything I lack that is not work.
