I can't stop taking care, Needing to make sure they're ok, Can't stop the worry from seeping into my veins, my bones, and my soul, Can't think of myself when you struggle, I can't sleep when I know you're struggling to keep your heart beating, Can't sleep when the last time I slept I woke up to you being taken by ambulance, I can't stop the stress from seeping into my heart, Because you're always in my heart and I never stop thinking about you, So will I stop being a caregiver, No, Never, I won't stop being a caregiver because it's who I am, All I know to be in cases of anxiety, To be helpful is to have purpose, Without helping makes me a pair of dull scissors useless to anyone trying to open something, So I will forever be a caregiver.

Caregiver
I can't stop taking care, Needing to make sure they're ok, Can't stop the worry from seeping into my veins, my bones, and my soul, Can't think of myself when you struggle, I can't sleep when I know you're struggling to keep your heart beating, Can't sleep when the last time I slept I woke up to you being taken by ambulance, I can't stop the stress from seeping into my heart, Because you're always in my heart and I never stop thinking about you, So will I stop being a caregiver, No, Never, I won't stop being a caregiver because it's who I am, All I know to be in cases of anxiety, To be helpful is to have purpose, Without helping makes me a pair of dull scissors useless to anyone trying to open something, So I will forever be a caregiver.
This poem was written for my grandma who has congestive heart failure and worries about me stressing out about her well being as well as my mom worrying about her so here's to her.
