I need to borrow a playbook from someone
Who is able to get a million things done
Without breaking a sweat or getting fatigued
How many women juggle myriad responsibilities leaves me intrigued
Whereas I am always trying to chase
Time that evaporates into thin air always
Leaving me exhausted, unfulfilled and demoralized
At the end of the day I am left surprised
Thinking about where my schedule I should tweak
To expand my plate further, something I desperately seek…
*
In my fantasy world I would be at the top of my game in my career
I would move from challenge to challenge without fear
Have time to pursue interests of variety wide
All the principles of good parenting in my life would be applied
I would practice self-care so that I could be
The most attractive, accomplished version of me
*
The verse above describes an order of things too difficult to achieve
In real life, even if I could magically believe
That it is possible, I would never be able to find
The do-it-all persona that is etched in my mind
So let me get off the fantasy express into the world that I occupy
And get down to work, foregoing my expectations sky-high
Passion...unbridled
