Scattered

I find I think constantly with a busy mind There's just so much to do in every day My thoughts all scattered and unrefined Worries and problems go round unasked Keeping me awake at night in hot dismay I find I think constantly with a busy mind I'm falling behind with innumerable tasks There has got to be a much better way My thoughts all scattered and unrefined I'll start a journal then in relief I can bask All of my minds clutter can just fade away I find I think constantly with a busy mind Collating a glut of thoughts no easy ask I should have started on this yesterday My thoughts all scattered and unrefined My veneer of calm may soon be unmasked My melt down will be a spectacular display I find I think constantly with a busy mind My thoughts all scattered and unrefined First person villanelle poetry contest 7 August 2022 Sponsor K Milton Hankins
