Backed Up Against A Wall
A Little Bit Tired When I Shouldn't Be
There are things that I can't wait to do
On my days off I try to tackle most of them
Then after a long week of work
I have been waiting for this day to come
It is my day off
I fizzle out
Faster than an old soda loses its zing
I have always been a little all over the place
I get an idea and I have to go with it
The idea comes out of the blue
I had so many other plans
I know if I put the idea off
It sizzles and then dies out
The same is with a writing
The longer I wait for less the chance I have of finishing it
I have tried different approaches
Thinking these are all good ideas
Soon they end up in the scrapyard
With all the other duds
As I go back to work
My energy level returns
I don't get it
I am not sick
I have received more rest during the Pandemic
Then during my whole life prior
My hours were cut
So I had no choice but to come in later and leave earlier
Now by my standards
I should be bouncing off the walls
More creative than ever
Sometimes yes, sometimes no
There are times I get lazy
Not because I want to because I just do
It is way out of my character
So in an effort to bump up my progress
I make sure I take my vitamins
Eat better and yes drink a lot of water
Try to squeeze in some exercise
Write and write with passion
Read as often as I can
Make my wife happy
Do things around the house not just when needed
Before they have to be done
Tackle old projects that before I never had the time
Catch the Wild and Free Spirit
On the Next train
So next time I pull into the station
I will be ready to roll on out
Refreshed and refueled
Ready for anything that comes my way
