I’ve felt it coming for some time now

I just didn’t know how to stop it

Restless

Distracted

Unmotivated

Overwhelmed

But I was managing

Until life happened

It was a 1-2 punch

The kind of knockout you never see coming

I hit the ground

I could hear the ref counting to 10

But I had to be strong

That’s what they keep telling me

So I’m on my feet by 5

Unsteady

Vision blurred

Head spinning

But I’m up

I have to keep fighting

But in reality

I should’ve stayed down

The ref should’ve called the fight

There’s no way I can win

I’m exhausted

Worn down

Burnt out

Moving forward?

I feel like I’m wearing cement shoes

Fight back?

I can’t even see

I can barely stand

There’s no way I can win

Why bother?

I don’t care about winning
