Season Feelings

Every year
This time
I'm stressed
And
Upset.

Every year
I'm aware of it
And
Every year
My
Loved ones
Ask
If
I'm
Ok.

I am
But
We
Are
Not.

Another year
Of
Falling short
Of
Meeting goals

Midnights

Midnights is tough
I feel my heartbeat
In my eyes.
They feel older
Than my body.
My mind a steady hum
Cruise control
To stay awake.
I sleep to recover
And
Wake up
Out of gas.
