Spent

I feel as if

There's nothing left

So for now

Here I sit

My mind is full

Of recent days

Now I'm worn

And in a haze

I feel as if

My light's gone out

And my heart

Is full of doubt

I've been running

To and fro

I've misplaced

My inner glow

I've been going

Day and night

I've nothing left

I just can't fight

Although I know

That life goes on

Today it's best

I stay withdrawn

Tomorrow

is another day

I know that I

Will find my way

Moving on

Is my intent

But for today

I'm simply spent

Craziness has been in control of my life the last few weeks.  So many things that were beyond my control.  So many situations that pierced my heart.  I have kept my candle burning day and night, trying to sort through the chaos and deal with the important things. 

Today I am out of wax.  And frankly I just don't feel like lighting the candle.  Today is a day of reflection for me.  It is my time to sort through all the events of the last few weeks.  Today I am storing the good memories, the accomplishments, the love of the last few weeks.  Today I am letting go of the sadness, the anguish, the disappointments of the last few weeks. 

Sometimes life feels like it is out of control.  Things come so fast that all you can do is react.  I think it is important after these times to just step back and reflect, readjust and rejuvenate.  For me today is that day.

Don't be afraid to give yourself permission to take a break if you are spent.
