I m sorry if I cancel
I’m sorry if I cancel
or say I cannot go.
I do not mean to disappoint.
I’m trying hard, you know.
I’ve eggs in many baskets
and I want to do it all.
I’m juggling and struggling.
I’m so afraid to fall.
I want to keep you happy
and all the others too,
But the truth is that I’m failing
To keep up with all of you.
I care so much and want to share
Your highs and lows and more,
But it’s hard to be as present
As the friend I was before.
These little beings that we’ve made
Consume my energy.
And if I ever get a minute,
I crave some silence to ‘just BE’..
.. Be alone and be at rest,
A luxury I rarely get,
And while I want to know what’s happening,
I need to just forget..
...The jobs, the tasks, and all the roles
I daily have to play,
And to spend time with my littles
Who won’t always be this way.
I’m surviving, never thriving.
My heads barely above water.
My priorities now need to be
my son and darling daughter.
So, again, I’m truly sorry
If I sometimes don’t reply.
I love you dearly, never fear,
I’m just trying to get by💔.
