Worn Out

• Revekah Regalado

• 2018

Dark circles lie beneath
Her eyes once filled with life
Now they’re void and dull
Due to endless strife

So tired and exhausted
She lets out a yawn
Wanting to stay in bed
To sleep, she is drawn

She wishes for the strength
To do things she once could
But as the workload overwhelms
She never did what she said she would

Daily procrastination
Never ending why’s
She was torn and worn out
In her head were silent cries
