I work hard and I get nothing. #GroupHomes

I everyday break my back at work and all I ask for is my spending money. But when I ask for it they look at me like I am stupid. I ask while the medication cabinet they keep it in is open but they just get if don't ask over and over again and beg. #Caregiving #neglect #Property #Autism

Mornings #MightyPoets

MORNINGS
My eyes open and I quickly know,
In just what direction
This day will go.

I immediately begin to question,
What did I do?
Did I do anything different?
Do I lay here?
Or “Push-Through”?

Some mornings its lead,
My body is filled with.
Other days water,
The only description I’m feeling.

I look at the clock,
It’s already noon.
But my eyelids are heavy,
I know they’ll close soon.

My inner frustration,
I need to get up!
So many things,
That have to be done!

I’m needed by everyone.
I’m “mommy” and “wife”!
But this Chronic Condition,
makes the rules in my life.

This is not what I envisioned
Not the way it should go.
My mind drifts back to
all my life goals.

I would be the best
At all that I do!
Not have to depend on
My family, and friends too.

I feel guilty.
I don’t want to ask,
For help with just
The simplest of tasks.

But I no longer get
To make those decisions.
It’s this body of mine,
with it’s Chronic Condition.
