Tired,
So tired
Of maximum effort
To meet the bare minimum
Of expectations.

Then, met with more expectancy.
Demands
Becoming harsh
And judgmental.
Punishing
For having disappointed.

Non-responsive
As the tired horse
Oblivious of the whip.
Numb
As the dead dog
Insensitive to the blows.

A nice off the cuff feeling hitting in the center of the bull's eye. Expressed very nicely and to the point. Nice write.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

Ah...this caught me by surprise.  But you know what?

You could do more here, in this forum,...and we both know what I mean by that.  Good job!  And you know what else?

I know EXACTLY what you mean!
