OBLIGATION

Obligations to others
shunned or left unfulfilled
Brings shame and anxiety
Alcohol and exercise help dull the pain
Late night comes
and the world heads off to sleep
you finally have an excuse
To climb inside that coffin
That you call a bed
and go to sleep
Not to rest yourself
but from exhaustion with the world
you are in hot pursuit of non-existence
