Dark circles surround heavy eyes

Energy drained and the world swirls

Nothing stands still, nothing feels right.

All that is needed is grounding.

The rug pulled out, footing lost,

Stumbling over every obstacle,

Exhausted from the quaking world

Failing at every turn,

and no, it doesn’t mean first attempt in learning…

Shifting goal posts, unstated expectations,

Boundaries crossed, it’s all getting old.

Find patience, show me grace.

Tears fall, uncontrollably. Over it all.
