Welcome to My Job by Nada Adel Sobhi – Poem

It's hard,

Tiring;

People don't see it,

Understand it

The puffy eyes,

Your desire

To make everything alright

Your energy

Drained

Day after day after day

They don't understand

The toll,

The sweat,

Sometimes the pain,

The sleepless nights

I wish I were like the insensitive ones,

Untethered by right and wrong,

Unimpeded by care

By anything…

Welcome to my Job!
