The pressure builds and builds
There’s no running away from it
Everyday another problem is thrown on our shoulders
“They can’t hold anymore.” We scream
But more is thrown
Everyday, a new pain it brings.
I look ahead and the journey is oh so long
It twists, turns and requires more energy than we’re willing to give.
All the tasks demand to be done.
Each problem singing its own song.
My ears they hurt
I longingly stare at the place that gives me peace
Just when I take step towards happiness
They sing again and again
Louder and louder
The journey is long.
