Hello!
The optional prompt for today was to write about what my future provides. I set the first part of this poem in the ‘now’ and the second part as a projection into my future.
(See how many thought leader references you can spot…)
I
I am watching ‘motivational videos’
From a puffy eye
At a small hour
Pillow-propped;
My t-shirt stained
With yesterday’s cake.
My ‘journal’ is closed on the bed
Business PDFs poking
From the confines;
Other people’s lifework
Resounding from the page.
I have ‘performance prompts’ aplenty –
(Part of me is eager to start,
But the scared portion
Is exercising her lungs)
Life coaches live in my screen.
I know them all
By name and voice.
If I count backwards from 5
The world will be laid
At my well-heeled feet.
My Small Stuff sweat
Runs in rivulets of ‘shoulds’
But never smells like must.
II
I’ve written them down!
They glow! Bright beacons through the mist…
I know my way.
Each habit’s worn so that I now see.
I live to serve:
My grateful audience and I
Conversing socially.
I learned the hacks.
My physiology
Will outperform my peers’.
I calmly meditate upon
The lessons,
And listen with both ears.
In melting down the anger and the fear,
I merge with universal truth; get clear.
We all know clarity’s the holy grail
So how, now, could this plan possibly fail…?
