Stressful days take away the joy in my evening meals
With back aches and a weakened body I struggle to feed
When the day is spent and my thoughts long for my needs,
The stress will then set in; feverish and broken feelings
2
Before this noon, I have had some tea and milk
And had walked under the suns heat for long
I had endured the malevolent Harmattan wind
And those combo has made me very weak
3
Now look at my face, see how I show my fatigue
The long lines and the pain Stress has caused it,
She has taken my strength and flung it to the wind
And had made me a refugee in my own body
