One Step at a Time

Feeling fully overwhelmed and

Being pulled in a jillion directions.

No idea of what should come next.

No time to pause in frustrated reflection.

 

When it began, such a simple plan

All laid out and mapped on the page.

But then “this” came up

And “that’ interrupted,

Then “the other” sent things in a rage.

 

Flap and frustration,

Discombobulation and

Panic and frenzy and dread.

Doors swing open wide and

There’s no place to hide

And there’s nothing left to be said.

 

Stop! Back up! Get a grip on reality.

No need to muse or opine.

Just find a clear point to start over again

And move forward

One step at a time.
