What's ticking
by Michele McClarren
We dedicate ourselves to ensuring we find the best jobs,
buy the best quality car within our price range including all the bits and bobs,
seek the greatest value for money when purchasing our first home,
research to find the most affordable loan.
Tick off the checklist to ensure our boyfriend is ideal,
forgetting that was our fantasy from Superman - Smallville,
we want the best seats in the house when we are out and about,
need our friends to be loyal without a doubt.
We want so much of the highest quality,
what's all this over reliance on the economy,
we fuss and flutter about the latest hair style trends,
and get caught up with who's dating the girl from the office called Jen,
so focused on dieting and then we over eat again.
Yawning when mum asks "Are you ever gonna settle down",
is this not the same question we keep going around,
if I had time to stop and think,
to truth, my brain would resemble the kitchen sink,
this is just too much ....DRINK!
Maybe the truth is I need to find time,
to dedicate to myself before life chimes,
A place of peace,
no questions or answers please,
today I will put as much effort into me.
