Haiku 38

. . . Storm rages above The skyline is black with clouds No relief from rain

Exhausted

Exhaustion settles in Heavy from the load I carry Responsibilities are crushing Refuse to admit defeat Push through the pain Slowing dying No time to rest My body broken from the journey Continue forging ahead Just need a moments rest Just need a night’s sleep Exhaustion settles in I begin to weep
