Malady

I’m always so tired
I really need to sleep
Need to be rewired
Depression’s running deep
How long am I required
To put on this facade
Need to feel inspired
I feel as if I’ve died

Head is pounding
Vision is blurred
Does this mean
The tides have turned?

Where is this coming from?
It’s out of the blue
My body is failing me
It can’t be true
Can anyone save me?
What can I do?

The pain is deep
The pain is sharp
I can’t sleep
I’m falling apart

The pain is constant
It’s always there
Appears in an instant
Does anyone care?

Fatigue taking over
Constantly tired
Everything is hazy
And seems so mired

Have to keep going
Have to be strong
The struggle is growing
It’s lasting too long

Pray for a reprieve
For just a small break
There is only so much
A person can take
