Real Burnout

Posted on April 15, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

Real burnout

Is a real thing

That we face

From the repetitive motions

We make

To connect

While we are

Far away

Coney Island

My own experience

Was yet to make it

As far as Coney

In New York City

So until the next time

Then maybe I can see the sign

Of Coney Island

Calls for Pause

Posted on April 13, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

Calls for pause

As we creep out of the

Cracks that we have

Buried and built for ourselves

I step out only to see

A burning sun that

Set’s me back in my tracks

So lift up the curtains

And retreat

Again

Back to where

It all began

Gathering and Processing

Posted on April 10, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

Gather and process

That is the way to amend

What we don’t understand

What we can’t comprehend

It all begins

With an initiative

To grow

And let go

Of what is holding us back

A Try

Posted on April 9, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

A try

And a hope

To make the right call

At the right time

It comes with it’s challenges

And hopes

To know what

To do when

So I prepare for that moment

Everyday

Again and Again

Posted on April 8, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

I make mistakes

In many ways

Over and over

Yet in the midst of my

Mind collapse

I hope to grow

With every moment

I take in

Hope of a better

Tomorrow

Allowance

An allowance

Of an occurrence

A tolerance of

An event

But what if

No more is wanted

And the whole thing is dead

Guidance

Posted on April 6, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Guidance

Can be a hinderance

When the words come

From untrusted sources

So we have to analyze

The words that we

Intake

And not take

Them all

Got It

Posted on April 3, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

In a quick mometn

Why lose it all

When the going gets tough

Done look to throw a call

To start over

From the beginning line

When it’s time

It’s time

So be patient

Be kind

The Bubble

Posted on April 2, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

Bubble

Bubbling

With activities

Hopes and dreams

All caught up in the

Intangible things

That the bubble will continue to grow

Engulfing all good and bad

Consuming the hopes

Of the world

Here comes the bubble

As we huddle

In it
