OctPoWriMo 7 – Free Write : Growing Pains

Description: The suggested forms were not something I was feeling today, the Villonet or Triolet; so I’m just going to free form it.

I'm a geek
Some would say a nerd
but writing
Code for money
Stole my creative process
It is so rigid,
It is too strict,
No creative license, just a
product license.
I've been numb.
I've lost my feels.
It's not the code's fault.
I must find the balance. 
I'm sure there's one.
Between creatively expressing myself
And earning a wage 
Big enough to allow me to create.
Because, some time ago, love said to me
Work to live, do not live to work. 
I hear you now, though you're gone.
I wish I heard. I wish I learned.
Sooner. 
Energy, reincarnate, my best foot forward
Shall pass your message forward, 
You shall be eternal. You were my favorite geek,
Some would say a nerd.
