Not so motivated today..

Some days I rise bright and early ready to make

A difference in the world, daring to break

All barriers to success, I am motivated

To work efficiently and well, I am invigorated

After a good night’s sleep and a morning run

I feel like I can accomplish anything under the sun

I may not do anything groundbreaking, but at the end of the day

I feel content, my time I have not whiled away..

*

Then there are days following interrupted sleep

When my motivation I seem unable to keep

I feel drained, myself I have to repeatedly remind

To take it one step at a time, so I do not lose my mind

When a multitude of issues coming from every direction

Threaten to overwhelm me and push me into further inaction..

*

I would not be writing if this happened to be

A day similar to the one described first, unfortunately

I am fatigued and unmotivated today

Hoping to amble along my way

Until I get home and get much needed rest

Recover so that tomorrow I can give it my best
