Compartmentalization

 
"Compartmentalize your life around your dreams, hobbies, 
goals even your grief and hurt and you will grow as a person."

                                                             Quote _by Constance

I like things in my life in compartments,
good at dividing and separating;
like a store with different departments.

A time to pen poems captivating,
and divide all my emotions inside;
even put to the side things frustrating.

I put my grief in a box that I hide,
my past memories in a chest to keep;
oh yes, I like to ascribe and divide.

I go to the cemetery to weep,
for all those I loved now gone up above;
but try to not let them into dreams creep.

There is a time for seeking a truelove,
assign, label, seclude, group, draw apart;
and a time for finding my own self-love.

Each day has a specific time for art,
and a time to pray and to talk with God;
my beliefs are mine and part of my heart.

my friend Buddha helps me 'cause I am flawed,
I survive by having things in their place;
for in my past from deep pits I have clawed,

Each day I live in harmony and grace,
my way may not be yours but it is mine;
happiness is when each thing has a space.

The Situation Date: 7/26/2023 10:02:00 AM I used this title but this explains it better. My piece was compleatly off base. But I like the word and still think it fits. I like the way you expressed Your compatmentalization and I thought about it; I could have done this. Oh well...
