This poem goes to all of those trapped in the

system

To all the students, teachers, hosts, engineers, mathematicians, scientists, philosophers, artists

This poem goes to all the managers, governments, teenagers, adults, single parents, consultants, project managers, lawyers

and lets not forget, this poem goes to the lifelong learners, to those who fight against the systemic flaws, to the rebels, to the activists, the feminists, the entrepreneurs

This poem goes to me, and you

How do we learn to say enough

in a world where boredom is not allowed

In a world where rest is a sin punished through shaming

In a world where productivity is measured by

exhaustion, pain, anxiety

How can we thrive

in a world without

personal boundaries

My energy is my

temple

and I have given it

away

I feel like eternal waves in the middle of the sea

trying to find their

way

How can we thrive in a world

I write about what being a human feels like. Raw, real, naked.
