Tired

I asked AI to write me a haiku about tired:
Eyes heavy as stone
Midnight whispers for my rest
Dreams cradle my soul
Indeed. Fking spot on.
By evening time, I’m spent. Running on fumes.
I almost always crawl to the finish line.
Yet. Yet.
I got to finish up the last of my work.
Then dinner calls.
If I had a choice, I’d never eat. If.
Then dishes, chores.
Then caregiving.
I could almost pass out now.
Then shower.
Bedtime routines for the fam.
And now I write this.
Struggling to even stay awake.
Trying to conjure words.
Like squeezing water from rock.
The bed calls.
Rest calls.
But it’s empty.
Only empty.
And tomorrow.
Rinse. Repeat.
For the next 20 years.
I’m tired.
So tired.

It is only a season and seasons change. Not much comfort in the moment, I know. But it won’t last forever.
@haideralmosawi Thanks. Hopefully 2 years yes. He starts going to school then.
@therealbrandonwilson Thank you, appreciate the words nonetheless. I try to tell myself that too. This too shall pass
Hopefully the next 2 weeks or 2 months and things will improve drastically. I would add in 2 years to be “realistic” but @therealbrandonwilson won’t approve. 😜
