Challenge
“I’m holding up, so much more than I can carry.”
and I don't know what to do
when so much is expected of you, you start to feel the same. You start to give yourself the same expectations
My heart aches.
There is so much to do, and not enough time to do it, and yet
there is still so much time left in the day.
The days are so long and the nights are so short
I am not sleeping
I here her loud breathing in the night
everything about her makes me furious
she reminds me
why I don't want to be here
she reminds me
of the expectations
the burden I carry with me is heavy
she sees me walk with it and does not offer to share the load
and when I ask her
"Then why are you here"
she looks at me as if to say
"To make your days long
and your nights short
so that you may never sleep again"
