Yesterday’s spoons have all been used
What can I use today?
I’m so tired and confused.
I need to find an extra spoon
I’m so tired and confused
I feel that I might faint soon.
I’m so tired and confused
I want to move but I can’t
Yesterday’s spoons have all been used
My body aches, my brain is tired
Yesterday’s spoons have all been used
I just don’t have the strength required
To carry on with my day unbruised
I’m so tired and confused
Yesterday’s spoons have all been used.

I have a chronic illness and I can be referred of as a spoonie. It’s term that relates to people with chronic illness in the way that they have to reserve spoons to get through the day. If you use too many spoons in one day you may not have the energy to do anything the next.
I’ve written my poem in the Villanelle style, five stanza with repeating lines.
