I got hurt at work

Except I didn't really get hurt at work

I got hurt practicing my skills and building the strength to go back to work

And then I got hurt more working too much

Well now I can't work

I have a good job

I make good money

I'm (almost, kinda, maybe gonna be) in a union

They fought hard for protections for us

They built systems the state failed to to support us

That's why we pay our dues

That's why we accept seniority and work for their contracts

That's why we put up with industry standards and unreliable staffing

Where are they now

Who knows

My friend got hurt at work

Except it wasnt really at work

She was born wrong

Despite the valiant efforts of her mother and doctors

She was born wrong

And now? There's no escape, but to keep trying

Throwing ourselves against the wall and grinning and beating the pain until we earn our place at the table

Surely it will only be a couple more weeks, months, years, who knows

We aren't supposed to be here

We are supposed to go to school, and get trained, and work our way up in the industry, and by the time we reach the halls in which we sit we are supposed to know how to do everything right and be welcomed with open arms and juicy contracts

We were supposed to live a dream set out for us by generations of violence and suffering

But then everyone died and the ones who didn't either ran for the hills or couldn't have been bothered to trudge through door after door after door slammed in their face

So here we sit, the only ones left

But they don't thank us for being here, they tell us to shovel shit, shit up, figure everything out ourselves, and good luck surviving because that's what they did to be where they are

I'm out of work for a week

Hopefully I will be able to get help

Hopefully there will be a net I can fall into and find some way to keep feeding tickets into the machine

To keep everything running so those precious few can keep basking in lights they'll never have to understand

And when I can't find any more tickets I will be too broken and tired to do anything but lay in my grave

Long Depressing Shit (so like all my poems)

Yelling, Screaming, Sobbing, Trapped

The way I live my life

Accustomed to it

Used to the pain

Used to being locked up

Used to gasping for air

But still

I'm sick of drowning

I'm sick of this polluted sea that is my mind

I'm tired

I'm tired of screaming

I'm tired of gasping for air

Maybe

Maybe I'll just drown

That's easier

Simpler

Just succumb, allow myself to grow numb

Be what the voices want

Dead dead dead

I'm dying, but you don't see me, drowning in my sea

ᴱᴺᴳᴸᴵˢᴴ We are in lockdown again. We cannot leave the city. ⇩ I see it fitting to give a Throw back to an illustration I did on November last year, about the 66% increase of risk of death of older people during the first three months of losing a life partner. 😞Depression can always take a heavy toll on anyone, even more so during the current circumstances. The pandemic isn’t over yet, and people are getting sick, and others are dying. 🙌🏿🙏🏽Take care of your elders, take care of everyone, including yourself. I hope this ends soon. 🙏🏽🤍✨ ᴱˢᴾᴬᴺ̃ᴼᴸ Estamos encerrados nuevamente. No podemos salir de la ciudad. ⇩ Me parece apropiado dar un #throwbacksaturday a una ilustración que hice en noviembre del año pasado, sobre el 66% de aumento del riesgo de muerte de las personas mayores durante los primeros tres meses de perder a un compañero de vida. 😞La depresión siempre puede pasar factura a cualquiera, ¿cuanto más si le sumamos la situación actual? La pandemia aún no ha terminado y la gente se está enfermando y otros están muriendo. 🙏🏽🙌🏿Cuidemos a los mayores, a todos, y no te olvides de ti. Espero que esto termine pronto. 🤍✨🙏🏽 . . . #contemporaryart #contemporaryillustration #deppressing #depressionedits🖤🖤🖤 #oldcouple #oldcouples #editorialillustration #editorialillustrations #editorialillustrator #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocacy #mentalhealthproblems #digitalillustrationsart #digitalartgallery #digitalartpainting #procreate #depresióntotal #abueloseternos #pandemicart (at Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvk3pvDuL8/?igshid=e9bfiotsj17r

Dear God, (if you are really there)

Why create me if I’m just gonna be a total failure?
