Debbie, this is a creative and uniquely rhymed poem that flows with the wisdom of accepting ourselves in spite of what the world might call perfect. Very thoughtful. :0 GracieAnn

Comment from RGstar
Sometimes we suffer from stress and depression, not knowing there is a problem.
We refuse to admit or come to terms as we think it couldn't happen to us.
Sometimes we need to take a step back, breathe and take time out.
Best wishes,
RGstar

Good on you DEb, wish I could do some of that. Well done,
take time out and consider that things could be a lot worse, and as bad as we have it, somebody has worse.
Best wishes.

Sounds like you have been burning the candle at both ends until a pool of wax that scorched your fingers. I generally don't like prose poetry as much is written without poetic elements. Not so here. Your rhyme and rhythm keep it moving at an enjoyable clip. I know where you are coming from. Forgive yourself for not being able to be all things for all people and take a break.

Debbie, What you write rings so true. It must come from the heart of you. We are not designed for continuous work but rather for a rhythm of activity and rest; intense concentration and complete relaxation, like waves on the ocean shore. Sorry that I have missed some of your postings. Your friend, Bob

sometimes it is a good idea to take a break, sheltered running from the stress we feel, can often allow us the needed time to heal a well penned poem well done

I like the narration of facts in real life situation."Sometimes in reality, all we plan cannot be done factually." i do agree that circumstances in life sometimes thwart noble intentions.Running from stress implies the inherent need for someone at work to rest after hectic and challenging schedules,and then somehow, as one grows older,priorities and value system change and one develops more positive outlook in life.

Hi Debbie,
I bet you are going to have a lot of people claiming this as their own personal write... it rings so true for us people pleaser's... and it's so true, the sky won't fall and hopefully the sun will come up tomorrow... so I suppose there's nothing left to do but accept the inevitability of what is... but boy, it's hard at times... great wisdom my dear friend... I'm striving for the balance.
With our thoughts we create,
the scales of life,
James xx

Beautifully written words once again.
'Fears of letting others down'... I know that feeling!
Your artwork is stunning and compliments the story. Well done, my friend.

Forgiving oneself is never a mistake, but it can be very hard to do...it is for me. I hope u ou find that which you need. I like all your pieces. This one was more introspective, and, therefore, I lik3d it more
