Take a break

310

Take five, go outside, relieve this meaningless stress. Well, try

Craving some fresh air, out of the office’s toxic despair

Hey, there’s no complaining, at least inside it isn’t raining

Now is my time to shine, work gets the asinine

Lunchtime break, afternoon crammed, free for now: TikTok or Instagram?

On the step, fully distracted, the real you being enacted

A moment’s escape to another reality, from existence’s tiresome banality

Find a nook, for a breather: me-time, the great redeemer

Influencer or consumer, you’ll never tell from a resting demeanour

Awaiting the next demand, eating away at life’s grand plan
