For years I have worked hard just to survive. never did ask for much, somehow life expected too much from me. Although I did endeavour to fulfil each and every task that was laid out for me. I’ve come to the stage to where. Now I’m laying down the rules and I will do as and when I please. Because I alone have earnt it.

Everything is a struggle

They come back always in doubles

When things come back with a chore

I don’t think I can take anymore

Exausted and tired

From life I’ve retired

Far too many dramas

Have pushed me into my pjamas

Within life I just want to make do

I don’t want to unravel those clues

Comes too many within that task

I think I’ll take a leap

And run fast!

    Wow, the first paragraph is so sound and motivating. There was time in my life when I felt exactly the same. but now I’m more… should I say, relaxed?
    the poem is beautiful too and has some tragic flavor :) When there are too many tasks for me and it’s getting unbearably hard, I simply let go for a while. No more struggling :)
