That’s what you do when you retire
That’s what people do when they retire
They said
I guess I retired early
stopped occupying
did the old lady thing
things
left the corporate world
At 30
to write and throw myself into humanitarian projects
I still feel tired and sad
I think capitalism still dug its nails in me
Academia ugh reared it’s duplicitous head
Even tho I said buh bye a long time ago
don’t do it they said
You’ll never make it they said
left the 9 to 5 anyway
I was almost 40 then
to write and throw myself into humanitarian projects
don’t look back. Sometimes I looked back.
But never long enough.
I do what I want I said.
But it’s not without regret. It’s not all without regret.
