Suffocated
When do I ever get a break.
You have the luxury to sit and wait
Just do whatever you please
and I'm here hurrying, worrying and carrying
everyone's weight on my shoulders
If I'm not running around
I'm drowning within myself
demands
questions
expectations
obligations
phone calls
due dates
status awaits
on hold, delays
& so the list goes
I'm tired
I say i'm tired
but who listens
I'm tired
of all the loads
of blame
of shame
of playing games
and pointing fingers
you excuse yourself
you're this, you're that
but then order me around
and expect me to do as you please
with a drop of a hat
matter of fact
I'm fed up
I'm done
down
I'm numb
Suffocated
and I think I swallowed too much
salt water in my mouth
my eyes
my bones
it burns
So I'll leave it at that
a gasp of air
in the middle of my despair
I'm done expecting anyone to care
So I'll keep calm and carry on
It's just life
It's all good
There's nothing wrong
just part of being human
suffocated at birth
and occasional need for oxygen
a constant need for growth
no time to self loathe
I get it
I got it
it's all good
it's all good
