Pushing Back Time – Poem by Me

We're always pushing, pushing a wall back, trying 
to move mountains. My limp, noodle arms can't 

make it very far but we still try our best. Our 
specialty is pushing back
                                                time. 

Pushing past it, through it, passing by it and then
pulling back from the other end. 

Always onto the next thing, waiting to cross boxes
off on the calendar and wait until that "eventually"

when life is peaceful and we are free to do anything.

I hope you enjoyed this piece! It’s pretty accurate to me, as I have trouble staying in the moment and often find myself longing for the endless possibilities the future contains. It’s a vicious cycle, and I’m working on it šŸ™‚ Please feel free to leave feedback and/or writing challenges in the comments. Stay safe and healthy out there.
