I Burned

Burnout, the excess of effort.

From wanting.

Excess of always accomplishing more. I Knew about the departure, about time, and then wanted to leave something built.

A small, short legacy.

Burnout. Trying.

Trying a way to endure time.

Wanting to stay while wanting to leave.

Doing more,

all at the same time.

And then sparks, sparks.

They want it here, don't pay it there...

I invented.

So many. So many plates in play at the same time.

Spark, attempt after attempt.

It catches fire. It hurts.

I'm leaving. I'm tired.

It's been a while, and now I admit it.

It caught fire. I burned.
