Bleeding

I laughed out loud just now
Incredulous but sure,
I’m a mule tied to a plough
I wonder what I’m pushing for.

I’ll climb just like the sun
Shadows lengthen while I reign,
Surveying what this has become
A land I can no longer claim.

I know that you appreciate
All the things I do for you,
Love covers my blistered hate
Are you bleeding too?
