If you have the time to respond to every chat line,
please give it to me.
If you have the time to comment on someone else’s mistypo,
please give it to me.
If you have the time to gossip about some artists you barely know,
please give it to me.
If you have the time to like every IG post popping on your feed,
please give it to me.
For I could use some time to heal, some time to recover.
When my head is aching and my bones are breaking.
When the laundry’s piling and the cooking’s waiting.
When I need few seconds of lying and about nothing worrying.
But the wails of a child and the demands of a tod,
make me realize my time’s limit as the days unfold.
If you could spare just a little part of your time doing useless things,
please spare it for me.
