Days Of Days

There are days when wish your "bed was already made"
just so you could crawl back in it
and hibernate the world away

Moments when you are sincere in effort
and yet are identified as the center
of all that is wrong and incompetent

When your skills and ability
are valued as much as sincerity
in the corridors of political power

That point when you are juggling
multiple tasks are your challenge
criticism abound and no respite

Safe harbor nonexistent
no land to be found
storm after storm battering well being

The compass may be misaligned
no direction to go the path
every movement destined for chaos' reign

It has been said many times
take heart in the wisdom
even in the worst of times

"Define your work,
don't let your work define you"
for even in it you can find bliss
