DRAINED

i’m drained…


emotionally..


mentally..


physically…


i need something.. something that i've been lacking for more than a couple of years now.. the thing that most of you guys call peace of mind.. i'm not asking for an eternal bliss.. i'm merely asking for a piece.. a piece of.. peace of mind.. it can be for a day (if i’d be that lucky).. or maybe just for a night.. just before i sleep…


i am the soldier who is in the middle of a battle who needs to retire his armor.. his combat boots.. the soldier who has nothing left but 1 magazine of ammo.. i need a reload.. for myself…

i am the surgeon.. who is tired of suturing.. who has lasted 48 straight hours in the OR.. i need a break..

i am the homo who wants an understanding.. i would want one day.. to not be criticized while i walk down the street.. one day that i wont be judged because of my preference.. if i could just have that one day..

i am an elder.. who needs to be cared for.. or simply be noticed.. whom i think will be long gone when someone remembers…

i am the prostitute.. who needs to be taken seriously when i say i want to change.. who needs to be treated as a person and not just a piece of meat.. the prostitute who needs a second shot at life…

i am the rebel.. who needs to be guided.. not to be used by certain people for their own gain..

i am the youth.. who needs to learn.. who needs hope from all you guys who’s running my country.. who needs hope from home.. from everyone around me…

i am….
