There is more to me

There is more to me than this
than waking up to do all the dishes
cleaning the house
paying the bills
and trading the work of my hands, arms, back, and legs
for just enough to just cover the bills
stopping the dreams
there is no money for dreams
no vacations
no travel
only work
and worrying about money
and bills
and healthcare
Anything that is more
got shoved under the reality of life
and the dishes, and the bills, and the work
