THE UNSUNG HEROES

Are you unwell?

Do you feel a pain in your back?

Do you wish to just close,

Your eyes and not feel the world in your sac.

Are you tired?

Should we get you some water?

Should we help you, help us,

Rest..., and not make your life Shorter.

Are you home?

Is there enough food to eat?

Is your guilt for family eating you up?

Are you wallowing your sorrows neat...?

Are you feeling helpless?

Are you frustrated with the world?

For despite you working all day,

Insults at you are hurled...

Yes! I'm upset,

Yes! It's ripping me apart,

Yes! I work the hardest,

And yet I'm just filling my cart.

It's true I'm exhausted,

It's true I have no fuel in me to burn,

It's true our kind of life isn't worth living,

But, It's also true for my family I must earn.

No! I/m not at home,

But sometimes I wish I was,

I wish I could unhear their stomach,

I wish I could just press pause.

But No! Im not hopeless,

I'm frustrated with the world today,

Hoping for a better tomorrow, keeps us going,

Despite what my bones may have to say.
