Every woman around me seems to be
More poised, more polished, more confident than me
It seems other women have cracked the code of success
At juggling various responsibilities with minimal stress
While above water I can barely keep my head
On the same water, other women effortlessly seem to tread..
*
I really would like to be a fly on the wall
And observe how some women do it all
How they multi-task without missing a beat
How they accomplish the nearly impossible feat
Of maintaining between work and home a balance delicate
What can I learn from them, and incorporate
In my life so that I do not feel stretched thin like I do
Maybe I can learn to be a superwoman too…
*
Into the rabbit hole of comparison as I keep sinking
My inner voice challenges my line of thinking-
Why do I believe others have figured it out
Why do my own capability I doubt
Just by looking at the highlight reels others display
When I do the same on social media anyway?
*
Let me reach out to my friends (offline)
Have honest conversations with them and find
if there are tips and tricks that can be shared
Amongst ourselves so that we are better prepared
To take on the real challenges that we face
In real life, not in the illusory social media space
Passion...unbridled
