The PTO Myth

What freedoms am I chasing?


We put upon

Our own chains

The pain of running

Trying to escape

From oneself

How needless


Why do we run away

Call it a pause

Only to return?


Life and breath

Is more than PTO

Or feigned half days

That end up whole


The idea of a “pause”

Like waves

Wanting to retire

Pausing mid-crash before hitting land

Not letting a drop touch

Taunting the sand


We are free

As much as we allow

Seeking a pause

Is to entrap

Isn’t it nice to be in a four-walled box

Cozy and confined


It’s in the no walls no fences

No pauses is there freedom


Isn’t freedom scary?

All room to run

It’s easier to curl into the self-imposed box


For stopping time is to trap

And there is no pause

No escape in this life


Why pause

Why escape

When we are free?


Being free

Doesn’t mean

There isn’t a fight


There will always be a fight

But we fight free

As much as we allow


Do I choose to fight myself

Or do I fight to remain free?
