Daily writing prompt
Do you need a break? From what?

I desperately need rest.
Rest from physical labor.
Rest from mental labor.
And rest from the endless explosion of thoughts.

Thinking exhausts me,
life weighs me down.

No matter how hard I try, the anxiety of getting no results remains.
I want to be free from that burden.

I want to reunite with the people I love.
But I also want to escape the relationships that bind me, my family,
and the expectations and hopes they place on me.

What I long for is a simple life.
A quiet and peaceful daily existence.

Living my own life is already overwhelming,
yet people lean on me too much.
They expect too much from me,
and I have always given.

Now, I want to lean on someone too.
On someone, somewhere.

Life is exhausting. Existence is draining.
I just want to do what I love, what I enjoy,
earn money from it,
and live a safe and stable life.
But the people around me refuse to allow it.

A tree that is nurtured with love grows on its own,
so why do people insist on bringing trials and pain instead?

I just want to be loved.
But I have never truly been loved.

I was always used,
always seen as something to be taken from.
No one ever gave to me,
only those who took and took.

I am exhausted.
And now, I just want to stop.

Love is the warmth of the soul.
It is the energy that fills the spirit.
A soul overflowing with energy can achieve anything.
Why don’t people understand that?
