Poem : Invested
I am so tired
that my head is pulsing.
Such enormous levels of stress
can cause convulsing.
It has been said.
The convoluted story
makes my head ache
and I hold my head.
Most people who
hear the story
would say
what difference does it make?
That is because it is not
important to them like it is to me.
I am invested in it.
They are quite free
to give an opinion,
to offer advice
and to keep it moving.
They are very good natured
and meaning well
but largely unaffected.
Meanwhile, I have
to think twice
because it is about my life
and I am the one that is
invested.
