I’m getting rid of the ‘should’
I made it up for myself
It’s a stupid rule anyway
I’m putting that on the shelf
Don’t want to get up
Don’t want to get dressed
Don’t want to exercise
Don’t want to be stressed
Don’t want to allow in
All the sad news
Don’t want to wallow in
Covid-19 Blues
Don’t want to connect
Because then we’ll all chat
About Corona Virus
I’ve had enough of that
Don’t want to de-clutter
Or create something new
Don’t want to dive in
To all the projects to do
Refuse to feel guilty
Or pressure myself
But I’m not so sure Netflix
Is good for my health
In the morning I meditate
That’s something I like
Go within and think good thoughts
And give up the fight
Writing is good
I can create my own world
Couples are dancing
I’m now being twirled!
I’m reading good books
I’m painting my nails
Sometimes I create content
For future business sales.
While Pachamama breathes
I take a breather too
Fill my heart with gratitude
Instead of feeling blue
I’m glad it is the springtime
And flowers are in bloom
I’m relieved I can see my loved ones
Thank you so much ZOOM!
And for all the people that I serve
A comforting thought or inspiring word
I’m thankful for the community
Where we can all be seen and heard
Forgive yourself and crank the tunes
Celebrate another day
Accept what is and rejoice
For all the wildlife out at play
Connect to our beautiful
Pachamama
Let her rest in our human delay
So when we breathe clean air again
We’ll have a new canvas in which to play
And meanwhile what you think you ‘should’
Or ‘ought’ to do
Relieve your pressure
Just BE you.
