So here I am, down with COVID.
Though I am, in a way, thankful.
That I could pause for just.
A moment.
I knew this was going to happen.
Me packing my schedule so tight.
Leaving myself no breathing space.
And that constant intensity
To be on the ball was something
I was grateful for.
I took myself off social media, Instagram anyway,
Because I did not want to allow myself
To be swayed by the pessimism and negativity
Or worse,
Helplessly submitting to jealousy.
I wanted to resolutely
Just walk my path
Without being sensitive
To noise and doubt.
Didn’t want to second guess
If my steps are propelling me
Forward or reverse.
So here I am
Still myself
Trudging on.
