I can’t sleep
My heart feels so sore
My body keeps
wanting more and more.

I can’t eat
My stomach is so full/sore
But my mind keeps
wanting more and more.

I can’t drink
My stomach is so empty/sore
My mind keeps
Wanting more and more.

I can’t think
My mind is so sore,
My brain keeps
Wanting more and more.

I can’t stand
My legs are so stiff/in pain/weak/sore,
My mind keeps,
Telling me just to keep going,
A little bit more.

When will this day be complete/end?
So that my mind,
And my body,
Wil re connect and meet again?

To try once more
To do this all again.
From the beginning,
Until it’s the end?

All I want is sleep
Just for the day,
To not have so much going on,
So I don’t have to keep going to and from.

All these things that I need to do, aren’t even for me
Nobody really knows, what you have done, or really sees.
When you're, actually, screaming inside, for a small break or a hand,
you just have to keep on going, even when you can't no longer still stand.
