Dec 2024
All of my energy, spent
Drop by drop I pour out of myself
This perpetual low tank
Refilled scarcely by the transaction
This keeps me alive
For now
I promise my self and body
I’ll stop
Learn how to fill my own tank
Invest in solar
Be better
But the day never comes
And each day
My tank gets lower
Just barely enough
To give them what they want
So I can get what I need
