Obligations

The month churned task after task, expelling our will to celebrate Christmas. Exhaustion overtook is.

Tired

Do you ever feel so tired?

Where you wish you were fired

But you reaize you don't have a job

So all you can do is sob

Because this is school

And you can't pass this brutal rule

I just want to get some sleep

With a blanket as soft as sheep

I begin to fall asleep and I'm like this is a thing?

Then 5 minutes I hear a ring

And that is for school

My nap was totally not cool

Sigh

Why am I writing this? Why didn’t I do this a long time ago? As the days go by, I lose sleep, and end up like this. Sigh.

TBD

Fatigue I can sleep away

But still I'm tired in the day.

I try to write and words elude.

The waking hours just intrude.

Energy remans just out of reach,

Stagnance, weakness, I beseech

Anyone with a small solution

to bring tiredness to dissolution.

I speak to a doctor, just to ask

and they inquire, "have you a task?"

I am to weak to make one I say

they advise to wait until another day

Time cures all is common claim

but time drains equally, strong or tame.

And so my path is TBD

until fatigue gets bored of me.
