Going Through the Motions

I feel like I'm just going through the motions of life. I do what is expected of me. I cook and clean. I watch tv with my family when I'm supposed it. I hold my book in my hands and pretend to read. I take the pills that are supposed to make it better. I laugh that laugh that everyone seems to believe and smile over the grimace that no one sees.


I do what I'm told. I listen to rants and raves. I listen to people's worries about others. I listen to complaints about my lack of interest. I do, I listen, I obey. I perform just the way I'm expected. Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.

Nothing compares to losing my son. But the pain just keeps getting piled on. I feel like nothing I do is good enough. I try so hard to please other people but it's never, ever enough. I don't choose how to life my live, what to do each day. It's chosen for me. I despise complaining, I hate whining. But seriously, I hate my life right now. I love my family, but damn if it's not hard to see the good right now.

Sometimes I just feel like screaming, "What about me? What about what I want? What I think? How I feel?"

What more can a person take?
