Today was a day just like any other
Want..Want...Want
No one asks what they can do for me
Or offers to help
It's as if they don't care
Or as if they don't see
The loneliness growing inside of me
The laundry is done
The rooms are all clean
But no one says thank you
It all goes unseen
Dinner was made
Errands were ran
My back, how it aches
I could sure use a hand
I sit alone quiet
When I do get a break
And wonder why I don't matter
And I feel my heart ache
Maybe tomorrow will bring something better
I might not feel quite this bad
But right now I can't help but feel so alone
No one has even noticed me sitting here sad

I did not expect that!
There was one to the left, one to the right,

Pushing and
Flashes of the future come:
Scourging whips and lashing tongues.
Betrayal from a cherished friend,
where will all the heartache
by Carol Gioia
Weary and downtrodden,
feeling powerless,
beaten by the odds,
overcome with stress.
Thwarted by limitations,
succumbing to frustration,
by Bobby Coles
Boiling point reached a couple of stressors ago
Seems as though you're in a self-induced prison
Nowhere to turn to, nowhere
