Early voting
Covid tests
Working mama
With no rest
Closer to the edge
But not of glory
Stress, pressure, fear
Tells a different story
Hasn't my week been hard enough
On call Sunday evening was so tough
Indulged my kid when I got home
Slept crappily that night again, like a drone—
Got up the next day and went to work
Completed my to-do list but felt like a jerk
Brain was foggy,
Passion unignited
My yearning for gratitude and joy
Went unrequited
Today was a better day, or so I thought
Wake up to messages so fraught
So it's early voting, Covid tests
Farther am I from some much-needed rest
From this reality, I'd like to divest
We live in difficult times, we can all attest
