Equilibrium

What’s that you say? It’s not easy?
Damn straight it isn’t
“I know it’s hard” they say
“I don’t know how you do it”
“I’d have gone crazy if I had to do all you do”
Well, you know what?
It IS hard
I do it because I HAVE to
And you know the funniest thing of all? I’m probably halfway there to crazy
I’m know I’m resilient, but then, so are most people
No matter what crap life throws at us, we take it, and we deal with it
Not because we want to
But because we have to
Because we’re responsible and there’s no one else standing behind you to lean against when you’re tired.
So what do you do when you Do get tired?
You make yourself forget that you are, and soldier on
Drag yourself out of bed even if you’re as sick as a dog
Because someone else’s life depends on you
You Do it
Because it needs to be done
And it goes on and on and on
Day in and day out
Till you don’t know Tuesday from your arse and the dates don’t matter
So don’t tell me you understand
Don’t tell me you know what it’s like
Because you don’t
So don’t talk
Instead
Hold me for a while
Let me feel like I still matter
That despite everything, I am a person too, and yes, I’m allowed to have a life
Yeah,
That’ll do it.
