Maybe it’s…

…just responsibilities.
…doing the right thing.
…being hard-hearted.
…a burden to bear.

…life’s brickbats.
…of being trapped.
…just a duty.
…a heavy weight.

…love missing.
…God, unreachable.
…God, oceans away.
…a heart walled-up.

…the body being tired.
…expenses increasing.
…what life throws you.
…the constant anxiety.

…a lack of compassion.
…a heart devoid of empathy.
…the fear of being a failure.
…all these little things combined.

Maybe…sigh… I hope not.
