Chelsea Hull Poem
What more can I do?
What more can I say?
Why am I not enough
I am tired
I am so tired
This feeling is choking me
Holding me down with both hands on my throat
Even as I write this, I am gasping for air
I thought if I write my feelings out i would feel better
but the reality is making things worse
The shadow of doubt looming over me yearning and waiting for me to give up
I am tired
I am so tired
I don't want to be bitter
I don't want hatred in my heart
what more can I do?
what more can I say to convince myself that this is temporary
it all feels like lies
Lies that are becoming truths
Lies are becoming reality
I didn't ask for any of this
What else is there?

Chelsea Hull Poem
Its winning
The darkness is winning
My defenses are down
My rear flank destroyed
The guards are dead
I am losing
There is no strategy left
My generals have been defeated
My lieutenants have been captured
My captains are dead
Its winning
The shadows have invaded
there is nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
I am losing this war
I am going to surrender
there is nothing left for me to do
I've lost this war

Chelsea Hull Poem
The peace. The calm.
Everything is clear.
Life is good
Oh no its coming
There is nothing I can do to stop it
The voices are getting quiet
The music is muffled
My shows all sound garbled
The ringing is getting louder
The static is screeching
Please make it stop
"Mom can I go to my friend's house?"
"Auntie can I have some ice cream"
"Huh?! What did you say?"
"Sister are you hungry?"
"Huh?! What did you say?"
"Why are y'all whispering?"
"We're not? We're actually screaming at you?"
I can't hear a thing
I can see their mouths moving.
It's clear they are looking for answers
But I don't know the questions
The ringing is getting louder
The music is muffled
No peace. No calm
I am crying and can't hear it
This can't be life
What am I to do?
It won't stop
The doctor says no device will help.
Is this my life?
The ringing? The static?
The distant conversation
What am I to do?
I'm tired
No more fight left
It won't stop

Chelsea Hull Poem
I have everything I need
I am carrying all that I can
Nothing else will fit
as I head down the valley
The bag is getting heavier
my arm hurts
my shoulder aches
yet I can't put the bag down
I pass the villagers
They are staring but won't say a word
I adjust the bag to my other shoulder
it gets heavier, but I don't stop
I keep pushing forward
the more I trek ahead
the more the villager's stare
whispering, pointing
yet they don't actually say anything to me
I get to the foot of the mountain
I check my bag and its empty
everything is gone
however, there is no hole
my body is tired and weary
from carrying an empty bag
I look back and the villagers are gone
I am on this road alone

Chelsea Hull Poem
Hello!
Hi!
Is everything ok?
Hi?!
How are you doing?
What are you into?
As good as it is, I am not a cheese person.
Do you think all birds are descendants of dinosaurs?
Hello!
Good morning!
Did you rest well?
I'm going to be busy today so, I will give you a call around 6.
Hey hope you having a good day. I'm just enjoying my break.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
I was just calling like I said I would.
Would you like to go bowling with me this weekend? My treat!
Hey its me!
What's up with you? Do you not like me anymore? Was it something I said?
I know work keeps you really busy and I'm not complaining. It just feels like I don't hear from you anymore
I would be nice if you let me know where I stand
Hello? Are you ok?
I'm getting worried
Hello?
Hello?!
Oh. Ok. I get it.

Chelsea Hull Poem
Working 5am to12 midnight
everyday, minimum breaks
Missing important details
Daughter crying out
Yet too tired to notice
A life changed
No family gatherings
Working 5 am to 12 midnight
Catching the bus in sketchy neighborhoods
Son needs shoes
Sister needs stability
Missing important details
A life changed
Daughter arrested, but protected because she brought home
3 am a life changed
Too tired to really give it any energy
Evicted!
Working 5 am to 12 midnight
meant nothing to a society always in "gotta get it done"
Roach motel, scary but peaceful new neighbors
A life changed
No longer working, replaced and dismissed
A life changed
Brand new beginning
Hope on the horizon
April 8th,2024 Eclipse
Emergency Room
immediate surgery
A life Altered
Children displaced
Sister, lost confused and scared
Lives changed
No family, No support
Confused, damaged, suffering
Not special because this happens everyday
Yes, your story is unique to you, but it happens everyday
Lives Shattered
Hope seems completely out of reach
Rebuild while tattered
A new day is dawning
Cancer stage 4
Lives in the balance with a thumb on the scale
Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy
Mastectomy
A life disfigured
Unsure, terrified new beauty
No friends, No lover
A life Alone
It happens you're not special
A life unknown
