Rest is imaginary
All I want to do is rest!
Rest is the figment of our imagination
It’s a dream
A fantasy.
It’s needed
It’s a big part of our lives to be healthy
Except for people on the bottom of the totem pole
It’s considered lazy if taken
There world is constantly going
There works is constantly running
While the 1 percent screams, if you want success all you have to do is work!
All you have to do is get an education!
Everything is work, work, work
But still everything stands still...
Our body learns to paint the picture of energy.
But deep down inside its crumbling.
It’s trying to fight from not shutting down.
All it wants is rest...
But How?
The world we live in is so fast pace.
If a break is taken,
Will the rent wait for us....
Will the Mortgage wait for .....
Will the Groceries wait for us....
Will Daycare wait for us....
Our essential needs....
The cars we drive...
Medical bills....
It’s a joke!
There is no time to rest...
It’s why our feet become numb....
It’s why our hands have blisters....
It’s why our minds keeps pushing....
It’s why our back aches in agony...
It’s why our stress never stops stressing...
It’s why hearts stop beating....
Rest......
Haaaaa......
Rest is the figment of our imagination!
It’s what the top believe we should have,
But don’t give the privilege...
Don’t want to understand our backgrounds.
Don’t want to understand the struggle
Don’t want to understand not having food to feed your kids
Don’t want to understand not having enough to pay medical bills
Don’t want understand the reality of the way the world works
Rest is the figment of our imagination!

Vocal Challenges Made Me a Better Writer and Keep Me Writing
For new writers like myself, this article is meant to convey the things I’ve personally learned by participating in the various types of Vocal challenges; things that I think made me a better writer. I’m sure there are many more lessons than what I’ve listed, but these are the ones that brought me “aha!” moments.
