Footrested

As I sit around all day waiting

for someone to help me,

you reach out only when you need me.

You footrested me.

You come around to relieve yourself

after a long day on your feet,

to feel less stressed, less tired

and as I stay here in the same position.

I am full of tiredness, loneliness

as your shoes pile up more pain on me,

more stress, and ungratefulness

your calves get to rest

while you enjoy yourself

in the living room with no worries

enjoying the TV and music.

All I am to you

is a source of relief.
