fauxcroft

I am feeling drained

Eviscrated by others needs,

By others who exploit me

Tapping into my willingness to help,

Demands are made by them

And they can’t hear me yell,

No more requests please

I’ve done so much,

And now I am on my knees

Older now and a lot more weak,

From years of work labour

And people’s incapability,

To do what they need to do themselves

Until in the end it lands upon me too,

Pick up the pieces and do what they say

That they could not do,

What they mean is they could not be bothered too

And so it’s all upon me and that’s the truth,

I guess it’s right, there is no bigger fool than an old fool.
