When summer holidays end

you're an adult and then 

depression fades and you

feel ok; you have no reasonable

excuse  to take a day.

 

You see your self awareness

becoming so that you feel 

no is not an option; too much

reel from phoning in sick; can't

be a dick and just explain away 

 

In that fake and feeble voice like

you once did; couldn't put a lid

on your own needs for just

one sec you'd say "to heck!"

and "oh well it's just a day".

 

But how summer holidays fade;

depression has gone and now

I am just an adult struggling like you

and other people who I do not 

want to wrong and say that it's ok.

 

Or give to just halfway.
