Frayed

I’m frayed around the edges
I wish it weren’t so
Would prefer if I were “harder”
Not let things pull me to and ‘fro
I’m thinking about everything
What’s working and what’s not
And how to handle challenges
When issues get too hot
My heart is feeling raw today
I’m worried about much
Bills and health and goals we have
Logistics, plans and such
The things that bring me peace
When life can get too big
It seems I cannot get to them
It makes me want to wig
My friends, my man, my family
Some refreshing time away
They seem to be the very things
That get taken, day-to-day
I’ll keep on trucking on today
And tomorrow do the same
This ebb and flow will change, I know
That’s how we play the game
