With Great Power....
How do I even begin to unpack
The weight I carry on my back?
It is suffocating my light
And blinding my foresight.
Times like these I need a friend
To help me try to understand.
My hope is getting lost
Because I can't pay the cost.
Too many responsibilities
Highlighting my inabilities.
I failed yet again
Oh God, I need a friend.
😭

Author's Note
I am doing too much, I ruined a bunch of 96-well sample plates at work yesterday because I didn't think. It was unintentional, but I should have had the sense to know better. Meaning close to 900-1000 oligonucleotide chains have to be resynthesized because they weren't deprotected properly...all because of me.
I'm embarrassed and scared I'm going to get yelled at.
I want to run away, I want to quit, I want to crawl in a hole.
I try so hard at everything, and this happens. 😭
My main goal is grad, and I'm slacking at that too.
Plus family responsibilities are slipping.
I'm beyond exhausted and sad.
I wish I had a ray of hope, I am so blessed but can't find energy. How does this happen?
Thanks for letting me vent, DUP.

Dear PS,
I’m going to copycat PoetSpeak (my other PS 🤭). It was one bad day at the office. We’ve all had these days of onslaught where everything surges like a tidal wave and we bob to the surface choking for breath. But you did it. You acknowledged the error. It’ll be corrected. One thing at a time. Your poem and situation is soooooo relatable. One step and breath at a time. You’ve got a lot of poetic support supporting your backside 😘
Terrific write. Honest, raw, relatable!
Go take back your day! 😊

You guys are fantastic, thank you so much.
I needed words of encouragement so much right now, I don't know how I'm going to face my boss through my embarrassment today when I go in.
He has said it's okay, but I know the main boss is drilling him for answers, probably at this very moment.
I know I'm facing a storm later, I just hope this moment in time passes soon. 😞
*sigh*
Onward!

I'm very hard on myself, this is a lesson I will reflect on over and over again.
I don't like making mistakes, but I especially hate making mistakes that others have to pay for.
I'll do my best to make up for it, and then I'll remember & use that mistake to help others later, as they are learning the area....so, I suppose my trial isn't a complete loss. 😔😀

Your boss should know that you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

Everyone's allowed to break down and fall apart as long as you don't live there.
Just remember all the things in life that you thought you could never possibly get through and somehow you did anyway.❤️❤️❤️

Oh goodness, aren't we all creatures of mistakes .. but, as hard as that can be, and as hard as we are on ourselves about it, we learn, my God do we learn .. this was a great and relatable spill . .. you have already begun healing from it by letting it out ... every moment is a fresh slate, all is well again.

Just remember.. not everyone is perfect.. we all have our "mind farts".. you'll overcome this! 🙂
