PAD Challenge Day 29 (Two-for- Tuesday): "Near the End of Burn Out & "Near the Beginning of New"
PAD Challenge Day 29 (Two-for-Tuesday): Write a "near the end" and/or "near the beginning" poem.
Near the End of Burn Out
We all faced many end
of the roads where we want
to throw in the towel
Throw up our hands
Hide our hearts
Shield our backs
Save our other cheek
Second guess our
intentions and purpose
We may even want
to walk away from it
all while it remains
worth what it is worth
before we completely lose
ourselves or our marbles
Until self-care urgently
calls us to gently say
It is okay to pause survival mode
It is okay to lead your way out of
leading everything and everybody
Come back
I have a safe place
for you to rest your eyes,
and bones
I have shelter for
you to ease your
emotional intelligence
and empathy
I have soul food
to fill your soul.
Near the Beginning of New
Anew
Unused
Never done
On the way
I see it clear
Scent of lilac
Ready for my tongue
Like a drop of honey
Feels like heaven
Pray it never leaves
Hear it comes
A new beat to my drum
