Exhaustion

I don't know if I like this poem or not.

Late night

Get up early

Work you arse off.

 

Quick bite to eat

Caffine in your system

No time to stop.

 

Sit and listen

Stand and state your view

Everything running like clockwork.

 

All work

No play

No time to relax.

 

Finish the day

Get home

More work waiting.

 

Crawl into bed

an hour later

crawl out again for the start of a new day.

 

You can only carry on

this insane way for so long

before your body literally gives up.

 

Sprawled out on a sofa

Collapsed on the floor

Asleep.
