How can we not feel as
Amazing to ourselves as
We are to others
Computer dashboard
As the stress settles in
Why do we have to do
Another thing to make up for
The thing we didn’t do right
In our minds?
A lot of commotion everyone
Waits for their turn
One more performance
To complete their task
A job that will say
They have passed
But for what…
We’re still not sure
And the people who
Know how to run things
Are all scattered about
I was trying to find
One more time
Or opportunity or person or…
Somehow not getting it
Exactly right brought out
The shame and then of course
Don’t get too close
I realized I had done
Just enough to
Accomplish what needed
To be done in my
Fever dream
Is it better yet?
