Nothing Left

Posted by Terrence Johnson

Exhausted to the point of emptiness
What more can I give
Pulled in a million directions
Everyone wants my time
They care nothing about mine
Responsible for the world
Neglecting my own self
What can I give
When there is nothing left
If I stumble, no consolation for me
Must continue to serve others
No matter the pain it causes me
When I try to vent my emotions
No one hears my cries
Just another opportunity for them to say what's on their mind
I just continue to suffer in silence
Bleeding internally on the inside
Operating just on fumes
I'm everything to everyone else
When it comes to me, I have nothing left
