\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Call me back.” You asked me.<\/p>\n
I never did.<\/p>\n
I wasn’t busy.<\/p>\n
I didn’t forget.<\/p>\n
I didn’t have the mental strength to return your call.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
You see, I am down today.<\/p>\n
I am emotionally fatigued.<\/p>\n
I am mentally drained.<\/p>\n
I am exhausted psychologically.<\/p>\n
I am physically worn out.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew you were down today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I deduced it from the sound of your voice.<\/p>\n
You needed me.<\/p>\n
You required my help.<\/p>\n
You longed for me to lift your spirits.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am sorry.<\/p>\n
I cannot help you today.<\/p>\n
You see, I have nothing to give.<\/p>\n
My cup is empty today.<\/p>\n
Life drunk the last flimsy drops of strength I had.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am a spent force!<\/p>\n
