Burned out.

…..

By Marvelous MichaelPublished about a year ago 1 min read

All i ever really had is myself.

People say they care but are liars, they put me on the shelf

Going through dark days alone will make you self-reliant.

But some days i get choked up, unable to continue this fight,

It’s been so long I’ve been searching for the light

____

Muffled tears in my bathroom floor,

Hoping one day I could be free and explore.

I want to leave this place already,

And for once not feel ordinary—

Taken into a place where i feel loved

____

Stuck in a spot,

Going in circles, this is my lot

It’s slowly getting unbearable

carrying all this weight on my own—

I am getting feeble.

_____

I look around for help

My “friends” are getting tired

“Get it together” they say.

I hope God comes to my rescue someday,

I don’t think I can survive another day.
