When did society drop its patience
When did I drop my patience
It disappeared as the years passed...
Just as many values do
Everyday, I wake up
my mind already toiling
of the things to complete
The never ending list
clouding my memories
my present state
even my happieness at times
It feels great to escape
Once in a while
I went to Shenandoah the other day
It was serene
Absolute silence on the river
Only inturrupted by rapids, birds,
and conversations with a friend
It gave me an escape
From my sprinting mind
Although,
as if a form retribution...
my mind took me back to my state of impatience
the day after.
I am to blame
I overload myself
Fostering my anxiety
I am glad to say though
It is improving
As time progresses, I am learning to say no
Declining "new, exciting opportunities"
Focusing solely on myself.
Due to this I am finding success gradually
In both my personal life, being happier
And also in my endeavors
As for now
The trip to Shenandoah...
Right before school starts this week
Was a blessing
I am excited for the next weeks.
For now, signing off,
The Wanderer
