Marty Owens Poet Verse

Burnout Is Painful

I'm fighting it desperately with everything I have.
       If you've ever had it you'll know what I'm saying when I say,
               I'm so burn out with everything that life has thrown my way.
       
Many days I want to throw up my hands and quit
       But something inside me keeps saying don't give up,
              And I keep going another day and drinking another cup.
 
But now, I'm thinking. I've just about reached my limit and the fight is gone.
       I think I'll just chuck it in and let life go by and I'll sit by and watch and wait.
              Burnout has taken it's toll and is no fun, but maybe, just maybe with fate??????
 
NO NOT FATE!!!...But with God, I pray that renewal will come and I'll be energetic and full of 
hope again.

       I think waiting is very hard when you're sick and downhearted and wanting to be well 
and renewed.

              When am I going to realize, that something in life, will always give me burnout and 
I'll be subdued
