Leave Me Alone

On my off days!

I hold it in and keep quiet

Until the voice in my head gets louder and louder

Then I can't hide my attitude

The face I make when I am annoyed at you

All rooted in anger…

…No tiredness

Just irritated…

By socialization

Have to fake a good mood all the time

When all my body wants to do is be in bed all the time

With no drama

No stress

No mess

But also no money

So, I have to make the best of it at work

But on my off days

That energy is gone

The mask is off

And everyone can feel my wrath

So simply

LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

    This really captures that exhaustion of having to put on a mask for the world, and the need to just be left alone sometimes. Very relatable.
