Self Care
Jan 9, 2024
January rain is a special type of pain
You’re wet, cold, freezing
Teasing tomorrow when you’ll be
Paralyzed by striving for warmth
And staying in that protective cocoon
Until noon or whenever you decide to move
To eat lunch, do laundry, get dressed…
But why?
You’re inner voice says
It’s your day off and you deserve rest
Self care is sacrosanct, the voice reminds
You’ll work better on a full tank
So, you listen and keep your jammies on
You pour a minuscule splash of bourbon
And watch the latest Netflix actioner
Embedded with the main character
As he lives your life for you
Happy for his victory
And yours
