Burnout

image by poetry marathon

Exhaustion lingers in my soul.
My bones are leaden, my muscles jello
My body aches, my minds a troll
I’m not even feeling mellow.
My eyes they sting, each breath burns
I feel my brain begin to quiver
I give out, get no returns
My entire being starts to shiver.
With every thought, I want to scream
Even speaking is a chore
Each tired glance is a bad dream
I give up, I hit the floor.
