How Do I Tell You
I feel like my hands are tied...
I feel like I am running full speed,
Tied to a rope.
I pump my arms,
I raise my knees,
Control my breathing
Yet nothing.
I am standing in the same space
I feel useless.
I watch you get up
go to work
And here I stay.
I sit here.
searching, hoping, submitting
Yet Nothing.
I've applied to over 15 places
have two Degrees
yet nothing.
In the quiet.
The only sound, my keyboard
I try to keep myself busy.
Doing something
anything
I feel useless
I can't contribute.
I can't help you pay.
Not one thing.
No.
Yet the bills come,
I see the worry in your eyes
And I cannot do a thing.
I see you feeling dragged down.
And I cannot do a thing.
I feel like
all i do is
watch
I feel like I am running full speed,
Tied to a rope.
I pump my arms,
I raise my knees,
Control my breathing
Yet nothing.
I am standing in the same space
I feel useless.
I watch you get up
go to work
And here I stay.
I sit here.
