Here in the dark I reside
Working for you ceaselessly no stopping
Taking the stress for you as you cried
Calming you, a relief as your tears are dropping.
Holding you, guiding you, breathe in and breathe out
Lifting you, carrying you ,each trial, I see you through
Without me you are nothing. That is true without a doubt.
Supporting you, I protect you you need me it’s true.
You do not listen to me, nor think of me. You pay me no heed.
You ignore my warnings, starve me of air and life
You over work me and push and misuse me until I bleed
You feed me poison and fast food until it hurts like a knife.
Here in the dark I reside
Working for you ceaselessly no stopping
Taking the stress for you as you cried
Calming you, a relief as your tears are dropping.
Heed me heed me before it’s too late
Feel me pounding pound in your chest
You ignore me at your peril endangering your fate
If I am not heeded I shall lay you to your rest.

It took me a few moments to get it, but when I did, my view of your creation and message soared. Well done, Willow. Thank you for your excellent reminder.

For me, this sounds a lot like an overworked caregiver.
