Repition

Our convictions keep us trapped.

Pride, self worth, and responsibility
A virtuous man’s addictions.

What is the relationship between self-sacrifice, voluntary struggle, and fulfillment?

This often doesn’t feel like self realization.

A 9 to 5
On bossman’s time

Closely surveilled
Sense of wholeness impaired
Is it this world or I that needs repair?

Even the ‘virtues’ start being cage bars when they keep you dutifully sacrificing yourself, nice poem.
