Inspired by cantbeyou's great, disturbing drawing. A little darker than my usual fare! Limbless I have lost my legs and arms Unnecessary accessories That put me in harm’s way And now I sway, unbalanced Numb, lanced. I am just a lump, A sorry stump of flesh and bone That groans for phantoms of Futile shoots And moot roots I pruned the branches So they would grow stronger I no longer think it true Too late, Cruel fate Appendages in bandages Wounds bound And some things only ever found By losing Isn’t Life Amusing? |

RE: Limbless - Poem
Metaphorest remarked on February 25, 2010
Yes that makes things trickier, Sara - I have the benefit of a job where there is absolutely no potential to move up and no perks whatsoever - it does push one to jump ship sooner and with less debate :) If I earned more I would maybe have stayed longer and saved to cushion my leap into poverty but I dunno...I think when the time's right ya just know. And for now if you don't mind it, and can continue to do the things you enjoy outside of work and make connections, build a portfolio etc - then it's all good!

Ah, lovely Sarah D, I've been thinking of making the plunge for a couple of years now. :) Thing is, once I have a foot and four toes out the door I get promoted! Makes it a little hard to leave. But truly, I can't see myself in the sector I work in for the long run. In fact, it's the complete opposite from what I've seen for myself. It is nice while it lasts, though, I suppose. :)

Metaphorest, I want to echo goodgirl_indie . You're supremely gifted and have so much to offer. So I hope you find yourself in a position where you get to express your (he)art. This is an exciting time for you. I hope you enjoy every minute of it! I'm rooting for you!
