"Work and Thought"

My mind is a mess.

A cacophony of chaos,

of thought and sound.

It is hard to stay atop one idea

as my train of thought

is tossed and turned around.

My work inconsistent,

my motivation worn thin.

It is hard to get started

when you know you won't win.

The trouble is here,

in my poetry found.

As for around it my thoughts

have become wrapped and wound.

See it's easy to get lost

in a landslide of snow,

when your mountains foundation

has started to go.

You clutch to the nearest tree,

a place of comfort and joy

in a sea of uncertainty.

You see that is what its like

to be in my mind,

when I have piles of work

because I've fallen behind.

So next time I'm afraid

and overwhelmed,

Please try to be kind.

Because...

how would you have felt?
