Time To Clear

A poem about taking a break.

 

Time To Clear

An ocean of

Water came crashing

Down on me in

Until I was numb with fear.

 

Life was catching up with me,

Kicking me in the rear.

 

My anxiety was running high,

The thought of going outside

Again and doing one more

Service call gave me tears.

 

When I closed my eyes,

I heard all of

My clients’ whining voices

And I saw them leer.

 

So far the idea of

Staying away is still clear.

 

Away from this lifestyle

I now steer.

 

Life was just getting out of

Hand and it was starting

To get too weird.

 

It’s time to press

Reboot to clear.

 

My alone time

Has been great

Now my mind is sheer.

 

I just needed

Many days to get away

For a while

And do nearly

Nothing

But merely be me.

 

Time to clear.

 

 

Author's Note

Sometimes you just have to take care of yourself and take a break when you can.

Many a time I’ve found myself in the same predicament. So I can relate to this Time to clear because when I get in that mode I take action. Excellent write.
