chores

I got chores
they've taken over my mind
tugging at my sleeves
nagging to remold me
there's more
chores
left undone
my chores
have escalated
they make everything 
complicated
my chores
have scored
a home run

          call 911
          emergency
          my inner will is breaking
          I say "you're not the boss of me"
          my chores say "you're mistaken"

I got chores
they run me around
every step I take
feels like a thousand pounds
oh Lord
I can't take any more
chores
