Discrepancy: Crunched

Feeling plowed under
With fatigue and pain,
Longing for relief
But finding none.

Sitting with this
Is very unpleasant
But getting up
Too much effort;

Can’t get up,
Can’t calm down,
Agitation fizzes,
Muscle pain burns;

Then, “let it burn”
Comes to mind,
Fed up with half measures,
There’s a mountain to climb.

Way too much to do,
Such a long list,
Would rather be resting
But have to move on.

One task piles on top another
And the weight presses heavily,
Another migraine coming on
Does not reduce the stress.

To cry, “help!”
Does not ease it either,
So not sure what to do
Or where to look;

Have to exercise patience,
Resolve to push gently forward,
This downturn will upturn
And everything will look better.
