Is it just me or other middle-aged women feel this too…
I am slowing losing my mind, I do not know what to do
When my mental faculties do not appear
To be as sharp as they were, and I fear
If early onset dementia is creeping up on me
I am at a productive age, why can I not multitask efficiently?
*
I get worried and try to pay extra attention
To my work- I have the lofty intention
Of ignoring all distractions around me
That does not quite happen, obviously
I keep trying to multitask and find
I have reduced concentration and a muddled mind..
*
Then comes a day when the task at hand
Draws me in so completely that nothing can stand
Between me and my concentration, my work without distraction gets done
And I feel like a small victory I have won
Over my declining mental faculties, but then I realize
It was the lack of multitasking that had me galvanized
To the task before me, my focus was intense
For only one thing was my mind present
*
Distractions are increasing these days
But trying to multitask is not the best way
To use my mental faculties that cannot
Keep up with the relentless onslaught
Of distracting stimuli coming from everywhere
By focusing on one task at a time, let me treat my mind with care
Passion...unbridled
