Emotional exhaustion leaves you weary and blue,

Pulling your energy out, making you feel like you're tired,

From physical activity or too much physical movement,

But it's the emotions that make you feel that way,

Leaving you restless, tired, and sleepless at times.

You want to rest, but you wonder what kind of rest you need,

You wonder if it will go away or it will go on for days, weeks,

When you bottle up your emotions when you should express it,

It will leave a bitter taste in the mouth, and tiredness in the body,

Your head's spinning around and it can leave you feeling sick.

But then— don't bottle up the things you should be saying,

For it will leave you suffering and hurting,

Tiredness eating you alive in every aspect, every cell,

Would you let it overcome you, or will you take a break in between,

Express, elaborate, and feel your feelings, but don't let them drown you.
