Retired from life

This is another poem I don't even remember writing, but it was clearly an out flowing of feeling so I'm sharing it now in case it helps someone else.

Every day full

Loads to get done

People to see

Not enough time

Always in demand

An endless to do list

Goals to fulfill

Just chasing a dream

That was the life

I longed to escape from

But now I'm here

I don't feel I belong

Who would have thought

When you finally stop

You'd miss all the stress

Meetings and actions

I longed to retire

For my life to start

But never thought

It would be a stop

Who am I now;

What is my purpose?

What can I do;

To fill these days?

I'm on the outside

Of life as I knew it

Not connected

To all I held real

Life was work

But I never knew that

Now I guess

I'm retired from life
