Obligations
I’m not sure why
So much is expected from me
Be here
do this
don’t you dare miss this
so many obligations
that I didn’t make
or want
or refuse
i run ragged to make others
as happy as I can
it’s never enough
Like a greedy child
they want more
stained hands
they grab
And grab
and demand
I wonder if they know
the weight of the plate I already carry
or do they enjoy
throwing more upon me

Certainly can understand this. The short line lengths are really effective in conveying the stressful, jumpy mood.
