[Content Warning] Exhaustion

What do you do
when there's nothing
left.
No hope.
No plans.
No spark.
I'm all gone
- a shad,
not even a shadow
of my former self.
I've given it all
struggled
I tried
I've worked
to support my family
but work
has been beyond horrible
- hellish
a torment of the soul
every day,
every second,
as I am bled dry
trying to meet
all comer's calls ...
