We’re all alone.
Some hide it better.
I do the best I can.
Work with what I’ve got.
You’ve all got
the chance to do better.
I choose
Not to die, every day.
That’s better.

Explaining
what it’s like
trapped in a well.
Neck sore
from craning
Throat raw
from crying
Chest heavy
from failing.
Sisyphus
Trying to get out
Employed
At least.

An untapped wealth
Used up
Before it existed.
Surviving until
my expiration
date.
