we put ourselves on trial
in oh so many ways
judging ourselves harshly
about the way we feel each day
and should we stop and rest
it feels like it’s a crime
putting our feet up to relax
for just a short time
we need to think about ourselves
and how we burn our fuse
for if we over do it
there will be nothing of us to use
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – trial
This is so true…We are our own worst critics too often.
I feel guilty when I stop to rest. I wish I could get beyond guilt. Maybe someday. Not today. 🙂
You’ll get to a point where your body will stop you rather you’re ready or not…take care of you!
It does. Like today. ☺
