Never as good as they are.

Never able to be the best.

The work produced is always shoddy

and not top rate,

not like theirs.

It will never be perfect

yet I will never stop trying

for perfection though never attainable

is wonderous in the attempt!

Imagining what they feel

What could make them cranky

or stressed

or unhappy

or bored

and why they react poorly

to the situation they are in

Giving them a break

because you imagine how they feel

knowing that you to sometimes feel the same

He endures my puns

and likes my jests.

We have a similar sense of humour

I enjoy his company

and like it when he comes over.

We seem to really get along.

He is my friend

He is my best friend

and I love him dearly!

It is useful and desired.

Chaos is beautiful

but not always welcome

unless treated as artistic expression.

When life allows you to function

at peak performance

staying on top of the chaos

can be empowering.

Yet sadly, too many fall victim

to the reacting to pressure

and not enough of the thwarting its dangers.

So, beware my friends of the temptation

chaos lures you with

or you’ll end up like me.

Desperately hoping for miracles

and not finding any.

She is curled up

watching as others move by

doing tasks and things

she doesn’t understand.

She is making things warm

and more difficult for me to type

since I only have one hand free

while the other holds

the small cat to my chest.

As things settle down

I wonder if she’ll fall asleep

because both of us

right now

are content.

My own fault

Lack of sleep

Books needed to be read

Fascinating books

Good books

Well written books

Books in a series

oh my

One left

Still need to be read

but sleep first

then find out what happens next

Eyes close

too tired

to remain

awake and

able to

function properly.

Lack of

sleep due

to a

hyper child

makes life

interesting but

not always

fun.

Time to start moving

There are things to do

Expectations to be met

Plans to execute

People to talk to

and yet my bed keeps calling

asking if it could spend more time with me

Someday I will answer its call

but not today

My children need me!

The world is in chaos

and getting grimmer everyday

Any sliver of hope

seems to always fade away

People are scared

fearful of what they can or cannot say

So revolution may be called for

because something is not right, today!

Wide awake.

Thoughts jumbled.

Physically unable to keep eyes closed.

Insomnia creates a problem.

Tomorrow will need a good nights rest,

Tonight.

Yet sleep is not forthcoming.
