A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 224

Day 224: “Rollercoaster”


The spectrum of human emotion

Is vast

Exhausting


Sometimes it makes me want to pull up the covers

And turn out the lights

As if sleep

will magically transform my mindset


Which I will say

does often work


Until the next time

My hair is whipping in the wind

as the rollercoaster goes barreling down the tracks

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 51

Day 51: “Empty Battery”


It’s hard to be social

When you’re tired


Especially when you’re introverted


That battery is empty

But there are people all around


Do you think it’s okay to take a nap?


It’s the worst

to be a people pleasing

introvert


I need to take time to myself

But I feel bad about it


I need to work on that
