Drowning

My plate is too full
My shoulders weighed down
I can’t take on any more
I’m behind and overwhelmed
I’m unreliable and depressed
I can’t keep up
I feel like I’m drowning
There’s so much to do
The pressure is high
Responsibilities and priorities
I can’t keep them in line
One day at a time
Keep going
Stay strong
I’m trying I swear
Today was just tough
My week has been hell
It’s hard to find answers
I keep reaching out
I keep searching for a plan
I won’t give up
My son needs help
The damage he’s causing
Runs deeper each day
I want my child back
Not this angry, mad boy
Not this mean, defiant person
I don’t know anymore
I want him to thrive
I want him to smile
I need him to care
And allow us back in
Our family is in crisis
Our patience runs thin
I’m walking on eggshells
Feeling defeated and drained
I hope tomorrow is better
Hoping soon things turn around
Praying God sends us someone
And we can all start to heal
