Tears of Exhaustion

(Written January 2023)

When you can't seem to tap out the keys

When you imagine floating by on the breeze

When weightlessness seems out of reach

And you wish that you could see the hope in each

Day, each morning each hope it should bring

Each wait, another moment waiting to sing

Praises, what could happen, what could we say

Goodbye, the only song that you play

When typing is too hard and speaking is quiet

When even breathing seems like something is fighting it

When sunset brings tears because it signals an end

And you look into the darkness, wishing for a friend
