Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

The girl
glared into
the mirror,
examining her
black eyes.

Rather than
beautiful rings
of green
encompassing blue,
there is
black encompassing
darker black.

She opts
for shades
to cover
dead black.

Resentment floods
her eyes,
dripping down
her scratched,
red cheeks.
