Back to Routine

It is a shell of a life.

Dedicated to others.

Nothing for myself.

I give and give and give.

Eventually I break.

I have nothing more to give.

They are okay.

I am not.

It will take several more years

before I begin to get better.

The struggle is still there.

I am still expected to give.

Now I take time for myself.

This routine was broken

and now it is time

to renew the energy

that was given by the break.
