The Factory's Tale - Found Poetry

Many will reflect on the end
Take all of the days to which they are entitled.
They reached out
To find more of their stories...
Fear of retribution
"Don't mention any other things that you do."
Because you are looked at as a weakness.
Expected to give everything you have-
No!  Take back your time!  Your life!
But they feel uncomfortable
For fear of losing
Almost impossible is wanting to see your family
It isn't a "good enough" reason.
Narrating the story of our lives
We start believing that narrative.
So much pressure...
Competing with each other
No guidelines
There's too much uncertainty
Guilty and overwhelmed
And afraid of what they will find...
When you return
Your whole identity lost
How can you be free here?
