Out Of The Office - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

I'll be out of the office today and tomorrow
In search of the gladness, avoiding the sorrow
The journey is needed to avoid sinking lower
The obstacles are many, the progress much slower
What's left of my ego is down in the dump
I no longer smile, just a natural grump
Buoyed by friendships, dropping the guilt
I intend to move forward, a spirit rebuilt
I need to be patient to get out of this mire
Belief in myself is what I require
The journey is needed to gain some control
I'll be out of the office in search of my soul
