(poem)
Work!!!
I was stressed from working
Though I did not walk..
Early morning wake-up
Without enough sleep
To catch the early bus
Before my time is up
A route and my routine
My work and my walk.
On bus to work
Though I am not the boss
Passing through bushy roads
even When the are busy
Seeing the tired faces
Even on daily basis
Adding to my stress
When they are also stressed
A route and my routine
My work and my walk.
Borehamwood is not Hollywood
Though it makes the movies good
Its pathway made of woods
While I come from the hood
Estree and lots trees like
The beauty and the beast
The reason was I stressed
was to get rid of my stress

A poem inspired by lived experience, reflecting the stress, anxiety, and pressure faced by a working dad with young children.
