Baby Steps
Up in the morning
The feeling of fatigue is scorning
Tired of waking up early
Every morning I wake up—
the thought of getting out of bed makes me squirrely
Back to work Monday gets me surly
It will be over before I know it
I just don't wanna clean after other peoples shit
One day I'll tell my kids about this
Hopefully it will be in a suit—
not a uniform that smells like dog piss
If I keep on doing what I'm doing I'll be alright
My visions are in sight
I'll be a success
I'm working hard and smart
Treading water to stay afloat—
with all my might
In the mean time I gotta work this job
I'm making baby steps like "What About Bob"...

@jennylovve - Thank you...
@PinkHoneysuckle - Thank you very much for being here.
Everything we want in life, we have to start with baby steps. I understand how you're feeling, though.
Hello My Friend,
When I would walk in from the hospital all those years of nursing, especially on a steamy night, I would go out and smell fresh air, and it was a jolt to my lungs, and I would always feel so sorry for the new staff coming on,, for they, like me would forget what a normal breath felt like. Then I would run home, shoes off at the door, stockings so damp from tight shoes, but I would get in the middle of our shower, finishing by undressing and rolling everything in a ball. I had to loose the smell of people that I cared for lovingly; but my aching back and soles of feet washed all down the drain. I was a new person made of spice, and my nice things changed everything but my name.//I am so prayerful for you. Keep dreaming, look for opportunities -- even small ones.
Give yourself a poetry reading and book party. Just do what I did; Wash all away that are other's scents, and become the evening poet. A suggestion. Blessings, Barb Hz -- "Pinkhoneyhoneysuckle," Xanga/ Kindle
@sleekpunk - LOL! That was a great movie...
@pinktiger335 - I agree and, yes it does feel like we're always taking baby steps or crawling--it's a tough world... Good to see you.
Everyday is a baby step. Sometimes I know this and other days it feels like that step wasn't a step and I feel like I'm still in life. Those are the days I feel anxious and hopeless but when I look back to those feelings I see that regardless of how I felt I was still taking baby steps forward. In life, I feel we never really learn how to walk right, it's always crawling or in baby step form.
Baby steps for your babies. Thanks for mentioning What About Bob. Love that movie! Poor Richard Dreyfus (I forget his character's name).
