I just need a moment
To
Breathe
To take it all in
The void
And the incessant need to fill every single missing piece
With things
With places
With thoughts
So many of them
They run wild
Each in separate directions
With no destination
No purpose
Or maybe the sole purpose is to overcrowd my brain with so many thoughts
That I am unable to focus on a single thing
Trouble in the wind
Rain in my step
Steep hills to climb
Did I hand in my essay?
I strategize
How to clean my home
How to be great at my job
Make time for homework
Make time for your son
Make time for your fiancé
Work harder
Be softer
Remember healing
Focus
Remember?
Change
Breathe
Meditate
You are love
Let's try out this new recipe.....
When is that time that we've gone out?
Who's socks are these?
Meditate
Homework
Or should I do my homework first and then meditate?
Naw, this is math I need to meditate
Sometimes I wonder if they see me
Hear me
I want to be weak sometimes
Most days I'm vulnerable
And sometimes
I don't know how to release emotions
I don't have all the answers
But I'll fight for you
I'd crack open my chest and give you my heart
Breath
Step
Remember?
meditate
Cook
You are not empty
You are love
Be your own peace
Make time for your son
Make time for yourself
Remember that recipe that he loves so much
How can I remember all these people?
A glass of wine is like a piece of pie to me
Poetry is my escape from life at times
Let me dream
5 more minutes before the alarm sounds off
Paying for money with my time
As precious as it is
Up again
And at it
Running
Running
With no time to stop
Breathe
Remember?
