I want to be energetic and vibrant every day
But some days I cannot shake fatigue away
Sometimes I am disenchanted, disengaged and unmotivated
I feel my enthusiasm for work and life has completely abated
I chide myself, try to trick my brain to believe
That if I tried harder, a hyper-energetic state I would achieve
I liberalize my caffeine intake
Hoping that a positive difference it would make
I start worrying if that state of mind
Is going to last long, but then I find
That if I just take a step back and let things be
Getting through the day is a bit easier for me..

We expect to be highly efficient and productive
At all times, on roller skates we try to live
When we find ourselves unable to meet
Our exalted expectations, we feel a sense of defeat
We expect nothing to come in the way
Of our efficiency from day to day
Aren’t these expectations unrealistic
Fueled by a society highly materialistic
Sending us towards mental and physical burnout
Certainly this is something we could do without?
*
To listen to the body when it tells us to rest
To slow down sometimes is in our best interest..
Passion...unbridled
