Bathtub of Tears-Daily Writing Prompt April 14th 2024.

in voilk •  3 months ago

    A long day at work.

    I came home, unloaded myself, and decided to take a bath before dinner.
    I’m all alone so I have all the time in the world.

    As I was filling the bathtub, I started to remember the events of that day.

    Too much to do, too much pressure, and all the weight of the world was on my shoulders, or so I felt.

    And then there was them.

    All my peers, and my boss, looked down on me, humiliating me, disrespecting me, belittling me, and I just sat there unable to do anything about it.
    All I wanted to do was scream, leave everything behind, and run for my life because, at that point, I felt I had nothing left to fight for, so I could just make a run for it.

    But I’m trapped, I can’t get out, I gave my life for this, I gave everything, blood, sweat, and tears, so I can't run, I can’t hide, bud damm, it is so hard. I feel so numb and so helpless.

    I was in a trance, and I didn’t realize I was crying, and my tears fell into the bathtub and it became a Bathtub of Tears.

    Tears of anguish and despair, real pain, all the pain I’ve been feeling for the last 7 years, all filled up that tub, and it was so much that I could bathe myself in it.

    But I didn't, it’s not right, I have to let it go…So I flushed my tears away and started fresh so I wouldn't bathe in a bathtub of tears...
