Another poem for you because my thoughts feel a bit too abstract at the moment… or maybe I’m still feeling cryptic?
Can you tell I have no time To update this little site of mine? I try my best With little success So my life continues to be a mess A lack of organisation A stiff sense of flow A struggle to keep energy levels above LOW The pressures of adulthood Managing resources And trying not to get knocked down by external forces My best is not enough? Are you serious?! I'm living life like Sisyphus "These things take time" "Give it a bit more effort" But I just want a bit of comfort Maybe I'm tired of playing dodge-ball I feel alone on my team And the universe is being mean Red balls flying in quick succession You can't expect me to handle all this Someone's taking the absolute piss There hasn't been a sign Nothing is aligning Has everyone been lying? I don't want to be defeatist But it's hard to be optimistic When the world feels so antagonistic
A Sign Off and a Call to Action
Thank you for reading my poem about feeling overwhelmed, seeking advice from others and having lacklustre time-management skills.
How do you deal with feeling overwhelmed? Do you have any special coping techniques or ways of changing your mindset? Maybe you have ideas about adapting advice from others to suit you better? Or maybe you could let me know the secret to making clocks my allies? Write them in the comments, email me or send me a DM on Instagram!
