Poetry

I’m

losing my mind

as my body loses energy.

I know I can’t keep doing this but,

yet here I stand doing more than I can.

Just to please the one who doesn’t stand by me in the end.

No more being that person always on the side for I feel like I’ve aged by 20 years just in two days of overworking until every bone in my body hurts.

And do I get a thanks and I know this has been hard and here’s for all the work you do.

Nope, none of that and so the torture and pain continues until I can’t move a muscle at all.
