Dark mornings, nights and days



Dark mornings, nights and days

When the light closes on another day
When yet again it ends with a sigh of dismay
As tired eyes can’t focus anymore
When energy is so low and raw
A constant weight upon the chest
Shoulders so heavy, needing a rest 
The heart throbs with a constant ache
When it feels it’s always take take take
Nothing left to try and fight
No longer knowing what’s really right 
That constant pulling further down
The smile well hidden behind a frown
Tightness in the head and neck
Feeling a complete and utter wreck
No idea what to do anymore
Those tense shoulders so on edge and sore 
Wondering about a way out
To stop the constant need to shout 
Nobody listening truly hearing the pain
Despite the hints at truth again and again
Is it all just emotive drama like a TV soap
Constantly wanting a fix, some sign of hope
Ups and downs, a rollercoaster ride
Just can’t do it anymore, just too tired 
How three little lives can stop those ideas
Keeping them happy and safe, hurting them the fear
Can’t be selfish nowadays on you they depend
So for now you continue and see no end
