This week's poetry jam hits on a working dynamic that many have felt and possibly succumb to. Hope you enjoy!

Note: my poetry is usually posted on my namesake account @mitchelljaworski, but did it here by accident. Now I don't have to resteem, haha.

Forcing the Issue

Push the envelope
Punch the keys
Everything and all is pressing
Well, at least that’s how it seems

Needed ten minutes ago
You haven’t even seen pressure yet
Battle through vocations
End of day, we will see who is left

Deadline met and deadline passed
Life’s debilitating dance
Led by a deadline hand

Blood and the closely loved
Relational structure slowly crumbles
As the deadline has major time demands

Running low on resource
An ever increasing task
Need a pick me up of artificial sorts
There is no time
To worry about possible recourse
