Obligations
Jun 18, 2024
I am buried by obligations
No time for new sensations
The sun is shining
And I shouldn’t be whining
But I feel I’m running out of patience
Longing for a needed vacation
I desperately need recalibration
But I’ve never been able to say no
So instead I wallow in self woe
The bed that I lie in
Is indeed a no win
But the bed that I’ve made
So I wait for my frustration to fade
I should be grateful that life has a purpose
I am needed and know what my self worth is
Yet I long for a beach
Still fun’s out of reach
Till I tackle the tasks before me
As obligations are all that I can see
