Swollen

My heart must be swollen

As I could feel every ton

Of what seems to be water

In its very core.

My soul must be dead-tired

Of having to carry

A load so unfairly heavy

For one who's never wished

To ever put burden

On anybody else.

My mind must be near wreckage

As it continued to dig into my past

To find what horrible things 

 I might have committed

To be punished so gravely.

Maybe it is this heroine's fate

To live with sincerity and respect,

But to be taken for granted;

To be willing to sacrifice,

But to be treated as though replaceable;

To get by in peace and quiet

But to be shaken so horribly;

To give a hundred percent,

But to receive much less.

This story apparently

Has nothing more in store

But pure tragedy

Until the very end.
