A poem my friend Karen wrote.

It’s too heavy for my bones
my shoulders break!
it’s too much to balance
it’s gonna fall!
I can’t keep this up
it’s too much stress
i need some time to decompress
someone help me!
take these weights that crush my body
i’m trying so hard
but
the smooth concrete 
beneath my feet, 
it’s cracking!
while i’m left standing
Crying out loud “help!”
do you understand my words?
my heart is pounding
the warning bell’s sounding
no, it’s speaking
telling me i’ve failed
fallen to the depths
i’ve failed
why wouldn’t anyone help me?
Maybe I should have helped myself
