Right now
The day is almost over,
almost time to call it quits.
I look back at the last 10 hours
and it feels like I haven’t done $h!t.
I know I’ve been working
because the pulse in my brain is strong
I pray it’s because I worked hard today
and not because something is wrong,
I have 2 hrs left to work
and those 2 hrs feel like a second day
I would quit this job, not really
because I have hella bills to pay.
I have no savings
not even a hundred dollars,
I can’t afford to get my cat’s nails trimmed
each time she touches me, I hollar.
Not just because it hurts me,
I know she’s uncomfortable too
I’m so stressed out right now
that my brain is now bruised.
I don’t really have time to write this poem,
I’m stealing hours from my working time,
It’s been a challenge for me,
but it will be submitted on time.
Enough about me
and how I’m feeling right now,
I’m complaining like an infant,
no, more like a spoiled child.

Blah work! Stress really does bruise the brain. Do you know the fb group Ladies of Lexington? I’m sure if you asked someone would help with the cat’s nails. I would, but not sure I can offer that here.
