Compartmentalize

Life can be overwhelming, take you by surprise

Sometimes you just have to compartmentalize..

*

Focus on the present, the task before you

You know you have to go through

The present before the future arrives

The vicissitudes of today you have to survive

Before the challenges of a new day appear

Deal with today, don’t let the fear

Of a hypothetical future destroy your peace of mind

Tomorrow differs from your imagination, you might find..

*

As always, this advice is meant for me

As I juggle multiple stressors simultaneously

Let me change what I can today

For the future, I shall just pray..
