Monday
I survived!
How surprising
Here I was thinking it was over
When it was actually just another day
Another way to pay
Bustling from one place to the next
Not a moment to breathe
Information force-fed down my throat
Voice spent until I could no longer croak a note
I made it through another day!
Twisting, whirling, bruised and broken
But alive!
I was attacked on all sides
Surrounded so there was no where to hide
It’s tiring
To keep my walls up so high
To hide my weakness
And keep my best on display
Without making myself noticeable
