Journal Fifteen- Haiku Poem

Working here makes me
Tired but feel like I'm on
The edge of glory


I chose this poem to write and I called it On the Edge. I made into a Haiku because it was a mood poem and it had the 5-7-5 syllables. I work at Pizza Inn and I work so much that I get tired everytime I even step in the door, but Pizza Inn pays my insurance, clothes, food, gas, etc. for me to live off of because I have to provide for myself. Even though I work so much I still am able to provide for myself with my job and it makes me feel good about myself, which is where I got the "edge of glory" part from. Being able to live and not need the help of any other person gives me a good feeling about myself and makes me feel like I can live for myself and no one else. I had a difficulty finding a way to put these feelings into words, but I found a way to put it into words so that I can keep it into Haiku form.
