Piles Mountain High

It all comes really fast.
The pile is like a tetris game,
You make a few mistakes early one or don't get it all done that day--
And you can't delete that row.
The stack grows and you have a mountain of work.
It isn't just the work that gets me.
They are asking me to box up,
Do my work.
Take exams and do well.
Deal with contention.
Create for the clients.
Be everything to everyone, and never tier of doing so.
My real concern is,
What is going to happen if I stop?
Will it be like a machine helping to artificially breathe?
That when they take it, my lungs collapse and I wither away--
Does any one every really think about the repercussions they have on other people?
I think not. Society is all about the me.
Drivers, mothers, doctors, and friends.
Focus on helping others is gone, we are working alone.

I guess that is it, I will just have to push on.
I can work alone.
I can do it all by myself,
There is no need to ask for help, I am self sustaining.
