The Burnout
It comes in many forms and with the unexpecteds of life
It shows among us all hidden and at other times in full sight
The slightest trigger can set us off
And yet expectations from others abound through it all
Every day gets heavier and heavier as you trudge forward
Hoping for a break, wanting time to self to go much longer than it seems you are ever allowed.
And through it, some try and ask for outside help and others just lean in
Only to finally hit the moment, the wall, the fissure, and alas the burnout.
You try to tell and the desire to be heard only grows stronger, but many don’t try or even want to hear what you have to lament over.
They just want to hear themselves, their voice, their words, and greatness.
While you just crumble, cry, yell to be heard and seen for what you have done, but they like instead how they sound better than what you have ever endured.
Of course, most others never take blame for their active role in the burnout
They instead expect more or wait until you are better and expect all over.
Or chastise you for lack of good time management, self-care, and or good decision making like them.
Some don’t but a great many do; they are just simply relentless in the expectations.
Of you, of themselves, of the world, of me, and us all for immediacy; all the time.
Everything and everyone, however, cannot be an emergency, especially without help, time, or compassion.
Some people need a moment.
Some people need some me time
Some people need some non you time
Some people need quiet time
Some, many, and in fact all people deserve peace
Some people deserve not to be yelled at.
Some people deserve peace of mind.
Some people deserve clarity and focus without having to justify why
Some people most of all deserve love and support through it all, including the moods.
Some people should just be lifted to their highest without your approval or appreciation.
Sometimes the burnout is so real in dealing with the world and its people that there are not enough words to paint the ongoing reality and the toll it takes unspoken.
