  • 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"...

  • @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).
