Blurry Perceptions

By felicity0444

People ask Why can't I write,
while I sit here and know
my kids are wide awake
and I hear them stomping
and running around
while there mommy is sometimes
Too tired to fight?!
What does it matter
If I sleep at all
My brain runs constantly
No matter at all.
Through the night
And through the day
Running so fast
With all my might
As the wheel turns
And when I open my eyes
I realize I've gone nowhere at all.

    Man.... I can relate to this in so many ways, and my wife even more so. There's only so many hours in a day and little ones are rambunctious as hell and, despite loving them so much that it makes your heart burst when you think about it, we have a glass that starts overflowing and is never empty and the downtime is just pure mental and physical exhaustion sometimes. I see parents out and about with their 5+ kids and they're all listening and they're all being calm and I'm like "man what drugs are those kids on??" As for the write itself your descriptions were spot on and sad. Keep trucking along, it isn't like you have a choice ;) Find somewhere you want to be, plot out the steps you need ot take to get there, and even if it's a long term plan with lots of barriers in the way, work toward you getting there with your little ones. Make that part of your life all about YOU and don't ever let go. Thank you for sharing, I hope you have the energy to read this! ;)
