[Content Warning] Undone

Trapped.
Doomed.
Shut in, and off.
My goals undone,
my life a waste,
decisions and desires
of mine
o'erlooked
or undone.
I could give
so much
- much more
but I am out
of step
and time.

At work
they want
the big pic
the profitable win
and no-one
- not client,
nor peers,
cares to fix
the basic wrongs 
- they must think
all grunts the same,
all graduates
good enough,
and experience
counts for naught,
and all are the same,
and I cannot
even
flee.

A prophet,
'tis said,
is not listened to,
in her life,
so I must be
a prophet
- either that,
or mad.
