There’s so much to do.
Can I get it all done?
Maybe if I do this half today
and the rest tomorrow?
Do I really need to clean this?
Where did all the socks go?
Who made this mess
and why did nobody tell me?!
Wait! I was supposed to be doing fun chores today!
So much for my clean house for Christmas.
I will be lucky if I have a clean room instead.
You are not my boyfriend.
You are not the one who wants me.
You do not want to chose me
because I am not what you wanted.
Maybe if in a few years you would settle for me,
but I am not a trophy
nor am I a consolation prize!
I am worthy as myself
and someday someone will see my true value!
Can not make a decision?
Choices flash before me
and none/all appeal to me!
What must I do to end this confusion?
Oh right?
Pick one.
In other words stop dilly dallying
and choose something!
She will sit so still.
Just like a mini gargoyle.
Watching you as you eat,
type or read.
She likes the high spots
so she can look down
and survey all below her.
She is small and black
and is my perching cat!
Bad choices are made.
Life smacks you upside the head.
Nothing goes right
and things always backfire.
Yet you smile and wave
and act like everything is great.
Being an idiot
is not the same as being an optimist.
Idiot don’t see the damage they cause others.
Optimists see it as making them stronger.
Either way it is the road to ruin.
The red dot has appeared!
Will I catch it today?!
Chase it I must!
She controls it!
I see the dot come from her hand.
The small thing that makes it shine!
Oh so wonderful and fast!
Red dot!
Red dot I must chase you!
Red dot is gone?????
Where have you gone Red Dot!
Red Dot!
It is your job,
not mine.
You have work to do
and so do I.
If you want to help
you can ask,
just don’t expect
me to do your job for you!
Expectations are high.
The desire to get it all done.
Projects unfinished.
Conversations that leave you unfulfilled.
The workload piles higher.
Time is against you.
So realize disappointment is not your enemy.
It is a reminder to look at what you have accomplished
and be proud.
Human nature is not perfect.
Humans never will be.
The crazy desire to reach it
is what makes us human
and disappointment is merely
stepping stones on the way.
Time to tell the story
of a woman and her journey
through a difficult phase.
Truth be told she still journeys today.
No one will understand
as she stops and stares
at a graffiti covered wall.
The nuances of colour rage
as she tries to see past the lines
to the original forever changed wall.
She sees herself in this art
and yet nothing can compare to her soul bled eyes.
The synapses are not firing quickly.
Reaction time has been halved.
Coffee substitute not enough.
Sleep deprivation has taken control.
Park the vehicle before getting out.
Yes,
memory must take on a more vital role!
Home returned to and safety has been acquired.
Return to bed!
Function must be returned to proper levels!
