she stared out of the window the day was dragging, again

requests over and over, like groundhog day all the same

how did she end up in this dead end career?

if only she had challenged herself more cut through the fear

she wished she’d studied harder and focused on a cool route

instead of settling for less than her worth a job she didn’t suit

maybe there’s still time she could make changes if she tried

small steps towards a different path one that would fill her with pride
