We mustn’t
Allow our minds
To submit
To the
Stressful thoughts
That hold them
Hostage all week
As we
Sleepwalk
Through
The work day.
Participation
In the Rat Race
Might be
A requirement
In order
To keep
Food on
The table,
And a roof
Above
Our heads,
But a mind
Is a terrible
Thing
To feed to
The Stress Monster.
So unwind
And be free.
The weekend
Has arrived!
Leave behind,
Locked away
In a desk drawer,
The thoughts
That stain
Your brain,
Weaken
Your will,
And crush
Your soul.
Once the
Timeclock
Has offered
Parole,
Sprint
To Freedom,
Do not
Look back,
Flush your mind
Of anything
Related
To your job.
If you’re not
Getting paid,
Don’t waste
A brain cell
On work.
Unwind
And be free!
The weekend
Is here.
Don’t you dare
Even think
About Monday!
The Return of the Modern Philosopher 
Yes, Austin, I am unwinding big time, my friend, with the extra special thought that I have all next week off for a staycation to continue the Big Relax From Work as well.
Enjoy that time off! Spring weather finally seems to be arriving…
“The thoughts
That stain
Your brain,
Weaken
Your will,
And crush
Your soul.”
Those lines are fire!! I’ll keep these in mind as I sleepwalk through my last few workdays! I’m actually quitting my job because that place is a soul sucker. Thanks so much for this.
Good luck in whatever you do next!
