A hard day’s work
A heavy burden
A time of distress
More stress upon
More stress
More stress begets
more stress
What will be enough
What will be enough to quell the pain
What will be enough to make a difference
Drugs
Alcohol
Poor decisions
Sad decisions
To anesthetize the pain
To self medicate
To feel alive
I am everyone to everybody
Mother
Father
Sister
Brother
Tia
Tio
Chica
Sobrino
When do I come first
Second best unfulfilled
First comes love
Love of self
Self control
Control of one’s life
Life renewed
I am whole again
