"overworked" poems
That workaholic lady who's always on call, keeping up with the market fall. That newly married lady with chunky red bangles, returning to her father's big castles. That person who's scared to get lapse, so stays active on the google maps. That person who swings like a kid at the back door, Or the one who perform calisthenics on an empty floor. That next door girl with a red lipstick, flicking her shinny hair & gossiping with her clique, That dreamer gazing outside the window, That overworked soul dozing on his elbow. That 21st century kid, listening to Eminem & playing video games. Or That 90’s kid, listening to Jenga Boys & playing outdoor games. That banker with a big fat stomach, filled with his beautiful wife’s love. That lady who eats like a thief, in her big fat bag hiding a beef. That old man who can’t stand Bombay's winding turns. That granny spotting & criticing  every fashion trends. That man who has Raju Rastogi’s concerns, thinking & chanting for earns & returns. Those kids who believe their job is to fill the voids in a battlefield, in the still crowd surpassing like electrons into a magnetic field. That lady sitting under cold seat like a glacial, than standing with 7kgs in a crowded central, & tryna stay sane listening to George Michael. That geek who switchs from Linkedin to Arjun Reddy, when the masses flee into the scenery. That trader crunching numbers so rapidly, when the stock prices go down hourly. That person on the last seat, diagressing from work & gazing around, soaking in her pashmina, with a career newfound.

Moon is not beautiful She doth not shine golden She drops weakened, white light on creatures craving sleep She sits there and stares At a frightened little world with her cold, chilling glow and a hostility deep It's ingrained in her soul to make the nimbus look fearsome ghastly and pale like a place to hide demons She debases belief We forget our star-wish and thick, we go fishing at nighttime And then, Moon releases a loneliness, cold and we can't elude we're stuck in the hole of This brooding solitude mood and its tole. There's no escaping anytime soon As we start to fear the burning sun And I suppose, this is my loathing of Moon. Moon is contagious. She offers the aid of her presence, unfailing When we're washed down like willows, weakened and wailing And we can sail under her Just as the dime It's a lie that the night's only clock-start for crime When she's out from the hiding place to be bright as Moon can There's not a direction No footpath No overworked plan And when I remember: Beauty needs not a rival I suppose I'll be loving Moon, soon again.

What do you see, nurse, what's going on? What are you thinking, when my buzzer turns on? - desk full of paperwork growing in size? climbing into bed and closing your eyes? perhaps you are aching from hours on your feet? or maybe you're desperate for something to eat? I'm sure being overworked is something you hate, but shouldn't you leave that at the hospital gate? I lay here riddled with cancer, moaning in pain wondering if you care or if I'm a drain. I wonder if a kind hand will take mine in care, or if I will be met with a cold stony glare. I know you don't have time to sit by me a while, but would it really be too much to flash me a smile? When you come with charts and machines to inspect is it too much to ask that you show me respect? I know you're all human and that you feel too, but it isn't my fault you have so much to do. Please don't excuse yourself with the woes of your day, I'm scared and I'm hurting as life fades away. I spent my life teaching with compassion and care, but this cancer it grips me, I've nothing to spare. Some of you have the most beautiful of hearts, but the lottery of care, it tears me apart - I worry if a smile is the last thing I'll see or if you'll be looking at your watch, instead of at me. I'm probably not you're first and I won't be your last, but I'm the only me, present, future and past. The life I have lived is fading; death hangs overhead, Fill my last days with kindness, for soon I'll be dead. So return to your training, your core values, be aware are you the nurse with the kind touch or the cold stony glare?

Overrated ******** cheap bitter whine out of mouths of overworked undereducated individuals searching for achievement Family nosing into business of other family they don't even speak to but need to know who's better off or worse off so most keep in touch for fake reasons Friends claiming to be friends even though Bobby slept with Joe's sister Kim when Kim had a baby by Bobby's cousin Jim who's sister beat the *** of that ***** Karley for sharing a photo they were in In a relationship today because you love to watch the haters hate but make 27 statuses about how ****** ain't **** and how you're 3 months late Hypocritical comments followed by one hundred twenty seven likes attached to a photo of a kid that died thirteen years ago twice but to send a prayer or save a life all you have to do is click LIKE.

The sun had died down but he remained. Smoke filled his lungs, his breathing was strained. December had come, with the wind, both menacing and cold but he stood like an oak, unwilling to fold. His muscles moved like an overworked machine, his mind was drifting to the past; his wife's warm welcome; his children's soft singing. He continued his endeavour till the early morn, then returned home, to be met with scorn. Her face was red and her dress was stained. He looked at her, her words filled his head, ''You don't appreciate what I do, not a word of thanks.'' He did, but he nodded and left them unsaid. It was his turn to care for the kids, get them dressed and ready for school. He fell asleep this time, his wife thought him a fool. He filled the fridge, paid the bills. He had endured, to see their smiling faces and their good health assured. He didn't mind and he never complained that no words of praise ever passed his ears, they were his drive, and his sole purpose was to ease their worries and fears.

The Resilience of Man.
Machine ground days Somehow survived by clinging to precarious plans Die for those. For proles are stuck in a televised gleam but I’m barred from distractions I’m a man of action Spring healing: I found a new hope to get through the day It has a name and it’s you Workday: animistic curses against people and their systems and products except animals would escape forever as soon as they open the cage but we stay The beastly gnashings of overworked merchandisers for invisible self pocket stuffers The competition's getting to us, comrades I feel swindled out of my labor I was pregnant but they sold my child before I woke up Addressing the solipsism of my rehab circle: I’m Kagey, and my life is hazy but, blunted or no, let’s get this clear: don’t trust your senses and that goes for all my human peers Body is a cage full of defenses Still, I’m suspicious of reality whether it’s façade society or the wooden chair in front of me Still, I enjoy the virtual scenery I ain’t talking about on the T.V. or phone screen I mean the willows, buildings, and faces But all these mushy green acres are fakers blobs without our eyesight Still tho, me and the universe are tight.

Cashier Writings on Receipt Paper
Do you see her? There with the hair with side parting. Do you know how much she have been hurting? I've been watching her, Everyday she puts on her makeup and smile, She's been doing that for a while. There's something she's hiding, Those eyes tell something else, Especially when there's no one else. I've heard she said sorry once, Sorry if she's boring them, She was talking anxiously but stop in middle. Like somewhere in her mind that being her is just too much. At the end of each day, There's something different than when she came, It's like the whole day she's just struggling to survive. Being overworked trying to show how she's alive. Outside the public world, Her life is not quite alright, Those circles under her eyes were not overnight, And those coffees were always the lightest roast ; Burnt not even a slight. -HIY

You are the elixir of overworked men a companion for lonely souls and a boxing ring for the fighting spirit Your camaraderie leads to immediate regret but such pain forces peace in the new day

Saturday Night
I felt her presence, hovering over my grave like a mothers last prayers Like a fathers burning sorrows after thirty years drunk Alone she stood, framed against the soft blowing trees, and the dancing wildflowers that were placed as an ode to the dead She held orange petals to herself, close to her chest, as if to let them hear a heartbeat, but the ear of a flower only picks up meaningful noises, not the slow tempo of a withered muscle, overworked from exhaustion She wore black, knee high leather boots, and a matching jacket Her hair was wild, and she looked ***** She smelled of ***** and no showers, cigarettes and sweat and blood She looked of regret, and her eyes sang tunes of pessimism Anxiously she removed the bright flowers from her ***** Poppies, by the look of it She presented them to the face of my headstone, cracked and eroded with age, my name barely recognizable Left with nothing, her fingers went to her short blonde hair, matted and encrusted with dirt She ran her hands nervously throughout, eyes constantly distracted Suddenly, she focused hard on the headstone A tear fell from her eye, and I watched it soak into the concrete Her lips moved in familiar shapes, but words were lost to me Every word But one A name Abigail And she turned away, walking crookedly into the wind and rain And though I know she was talking to me, I could feel the name on her lips, see it in her eyes She scratched the insides of her arms as she disappeared from sight, and I felt a longing in my own "I walked away from myself that day. I gave it all up for hope. I guess this just goes to show what it's worth. Maybe I'll understand it one day, but for now, I am dead to everyone including myself." Abigail Hollow Jan 1992 - Aug 2008 A loving daughter, sister and poet.

We walk among hero’s every day. And they are recognised, But not nearly enough. They all fight on the same team, They don’t always have the same uniforms, But they fight for you, out of love. They get paid sure, just about, But it doesn’t keep them there, It’s their compassion. They suffer long hours, and bad pay, Overworked, overwhelmed, Something we need to refashion. Yet they continue, fighting for your health, Mending wounds, treating disease, Doing their all, doing what they can. They do it with a smile, a friendly face, They do it agile, and with grace, Yet they’re just human, not Superman. They’re on the frontline, hands on, They’re behind the scenes, Each a cog, in a massive machine. But this machine is built by living parts, And they’re breaking more and more, Physically, emotionally, everything in between, Yet they carry on. They continue to fight. A battle never won. Recognised and praised, These are our heroes, Recognised, revered, yet still unsung.

Walking Among Heroes
Three hearts for thee divided, Lust battles with duty for attention, Making waves that drowned your cries, Yet you persisted. Three loves became one, Your heart the sole victor, To you go the spoils, And yet you persisted. One heart's love is yours entire, Overworked and overwhelming, Wounded soldiers make terrible bedmates, And yet you persist.

Love Persists
In department store foyers, free samples sprayed, A collision of cosmetics muddle the air. The olfactory overpowered by such obvious odours, Why do natural notes disconcert you? Not the gym heavy sodden or overworked, Recognition of an individual, whilst eyes remain shut. Faint trace of the familiar or frenzied pheromones, A headiness misplaced by the cologne wearing clones Preference for the perfumed, the artificial sweetener. Marketed meticulously Musk manufactured yet not made by man Of flowers dear, of oils and compounds. Fresh, fruity, citrus or spiced Artificial aromas keep your own scent disguised Society simulates this sophistication of the senses, Masking yourself from me as you are wooed, Accustomed to this attraction, till you let down your defences How shall I know you when you are ****

burdened with the weight of it all, the camel stops and lies in the middle of the desert the man driving the herd-- the herd that's laden with tired, overworked camels, walks toward the downtrodden offender with his arm outstretched and in his palm, sat a pistol-- then, he hesitates-- as he stares into the eyes of the camel-- deeply-- intrigued-- but beyond that, he felt a sense of calm, which soon turned sour-- everything turns sour he gazed into the dark abyss of the pistol turned it toward his temple and pulled the trigger all the camels scattered-- except the one lying down he placed his head in the sand, then slept in memory of the fallen herder

in memory of the fallen herder (the camel walks no more)
I'm a greet-you-and-meet-you professional I get straight to the point and don't mess around. I'll ask you how your day is, If you found everything okay- And if you prefer paper or plastic. Like a superhero from a comic strip- I'm out to make you smile in five minutes or less. I have the super power To turn you away from your favorite alcoholic beverage Or turn you on- It all depends if you can pass the test, the secret code to a top secret nuke shelter- No pass, no go. I'm like a greeting card, Everyday; a new message. Sometimes I'll hear about the weather, Other times, I'll hear intimate details which I really don't care about- But I'll pretend I do... Things like- What you're having for supper, How much wine your sister likes to drink Or the fact that you make the best homemade sauce. I'll get to know you the more I see you, And like an app on your smart phone, I'll remind you to come again. I'll see your kids at their worst- Moments their grandparents don't get to see. I'll learn about your financial status, Your marital status, Or the fact that you don't have a status at all. I'll take all of your complaints And sometimes pass them someone else- I'll hear all your requests like an overworked DJ And if you're lucky... Your wish will be granted. I am a food slinger, A cash ringer, A handle-your-food winner, I am grocery store cashier.

Overworked Fathers and Mothers
Don't criticize, don't criticize that man For enjoying something you deem a waste of time Let him have something for himself In our petty little lives There is nothing keeping us going Taking care of a wife and children That is the only duty he is obliged to Mother and wife must give up her life Once that child is born There is no greater purpose than for her to see that child through The only thing giving them hope Is the love hanging by a thread And when there is no faith hope tends to snap Don't criticize, don't criticize them For seeming different than you Let them have something for themselves If it means keeping them alive Working double shifts, Overworked and underpaid Her hands are always in pain And you dare snare at her Because she doesn't dress as well as you Never home and undernourished He is only trying to provide for his home By being at work day and night Feeding himself is only secondary to the hunger of his child Don't criticize, don't criticize me For being wrong, I will fall down to my knees Let me have something for myself If it means keeping me alive

Overworked
Cumulonimbus smudged over sunlight with dolphin grey thumbprint No clouds here, just 10 million orange midnight suns we're talking late 'til heavy eyelids drag us groundward. This city seeps and trickles down to sleep in groundwater wet-haired, waking, throbbing sunrise cased in eyes half-closed. At most, we hoped. At best, we strove. At worst, we overworked ambitions wanting, waiting, watching closely 'til 5 ticks until alarms. At least we slept awhile...

I really don't know never thought I'd hate for the person Sometimes I feel and smell of things to do That's not an ice is weighing me It's really painful most of the base of personal information about me, or going ... But eating shrimp feels weirdly like ... No, everything is predestined to die from embarrassment and/or maybe guilt.

Your words are a fist
Coffee first thing, better make it a double for the morning rush and that train that expects me. Closing eyes on the journey trying to accumulate another micro minute of peace maybe the silence kept me all night, with ideas on how to change. Or I'm overworked by the drive that will buy an escape to freedom. We closed our eyes as it's too depressing to see, too numbing to watch, but if hearing is the last sense hanging on then announce on our speaker that today is not just another, that there is something different, something hopeful to come back out of our heads from. let us feel more I feel like screaming, maybe to cause some confusion, so an emotion creates something other than familiarity. Yet more papers turn as the melancholy deepens, unconscious or 20:20   the train doors open anyway, to close, as though destiny decided to accept waiting. Just for a few more stops anyway Tapping on phones in disconnectedness, engaging away from that moment as blinking just don't know where to be sitting facing such strangers. Nobody look at me! fingertips planning movements of where One shall have to be, when these doors of limbo re-open. Where are all those travellers! I walk behind, a que of single file and with every step I long to run through and against this one way system, possibly naked to provoke a smile if I'm lucky But the moment isn't opportune I guess I will do it one day On a day I will swear that I will never feel enslaved by the weight   of obligation gripping my sole.    Marching up stairs with images of arrows, follow this direction is the wrong kind of sign Steps continue upward as though a continuous metaphor. And soon I'll take my chances.

. Meet me for a pint after work. Take me through the days, weeks, or months We've neglected ourselves - Overworked and inebriated respectively. You've never been without a job - But don't neglect a word. Take utmost care through the moments That define your time: The trials, troubles, And metamorphic events which reframe Your view of the world, or your relationship with it. Tell me about the ones who make it easy. We'll allow time for the detail. Your moments constitute a vicarious roadmap; A means to improve my world. In return I can offer up a Dublin dinner: The best advice I've never followed, My sincere admiration, And a proper pint of Guinness. .
