Just things that I think about now and then.

When Is Enough Enough?
A plastic smile on my face -
Default setting.
A quick nod in greeting,
I won't remember names.

It's not that I don't care,
I want to engage -
I just don't have the energy
To deal with people today.

My mind is traveling at a frightful pace,
Too much to do and too far behind;
When can I call it a day and turn the page?
Starting over seems like a good thing.

Who will I disappoint? Myself, definitely -
But is it worth stressing about?
After all, isn't that what grace is for?
I still need someone to tell me that it is okay.

I will call it - I'm tired of not living up
To the standards I set for myself.
I need to relax and find the joy again.
Rather than walk away completely.
