Exhaustion overtakes me
It overruns and consumes me
Stress and fear join this exhaustion
For, as we all know, misery loves company
So I sit in my chair at work
Trying not to go berserk
But my medications are too strong
And I'd fall asleep which is wrong.

Exhaustion overwhelms me
And I can't think
I become unresponsive
And my work is incomprehensive
I'm stressed out about nothing
But it feels like everything
I'm scared of results I can't control
And tests I can't patrol
This exhaustion and stress and fear
It all becomes misery making
Me wonder what new company
Is near

Maybe 'new company' is what you need right now!

hello rachael, I give you some company, medication is not so good, and the lighter it is the better it is, your poem is touching because it reveals how we need to keep in touch together...Thanks for the enjoyable read.

Thank you all for your comments. I have no idea how I managed it, but yesterday, before I had even taken my afternoon medication I had fallen asleep 3 times during 2 calls (I work in an inbound call center) and both calls could and should have been relatively short, but due to all the exhaustion and stress, I just couldn't seem to stay awake. I just hope quality doesn't listen to those calls. LOL
