Stood
October 11, 2013
I am overly sick, obscenely tired, and overworked
Yet still I sit, standing
To be the pillar on my own
And the person they lean on
When the days come
I find it hard not to do the things I love
When love is something I’m lacking
Becoming more distant as I move
But how hard the waves would have to be
To see a shoreline cracking
Anything beyond upward
Anything besides a positive direction
Now as I lay me down to sleep
I am frightfully unsurprised
That those 2 cups of coffee this morning
Forever leave me shaking
I stumble.
