Poem: Alone

 

Alone

7 March 2023 Abby Weyr

So tired

Doing everything alone

No one to help

No one to do anything for

 

All want to do alone

Is sleep

Read

Maybe eat

 

Tired

Doing what expected

Being where expected

Acting normal

 

Wish I wouldn’t wake

To another alone day

Or another fake it day

Don’t know what real anymore

 

Tired

Pushing against stay in bed

Daily mask cleaning

Daily blood pricking

 

So tired

Doing everything alone

No one to help

No one to do anything for

 

Every day same

Boring stuff

No fun

No company

 

Rare invites

Rare accepting invites from me

Everyone else busy

With someone else

 

Worthless

Bump on log

Hurts to stand

Can’t contribute

 

Hands don’t work so well either

Harder to read

Hard to hear

Hard to decide
