Overwhelmed

Overwhelmed

Waking to another day
So much to do; so much to say.
So much to remember
So much can be forgotten.
Forms to fill and bills to pay,
Debts to manage
So much that may
Go wrong.

So much to try and understand-
I sometimes want to
Bury my head in the sand
So much I know not how to do
Demands seem many, resources few.

In the meantime the house gets messier and messier
Could someone be my personal Messiah?
Ah!  But that would mean
On someone else, having to lean.
Still, I feel paralysed with fear.
As days turn into months and years.

Many are feeling this way. A dramatic write which so well underlines pressures of living today !

All we can do is keep going and keep trying ! There is always hope that things will improve and in a lot of cases they will !

Great write. Thanks for sharing !

Best wishes !  :)

Thank you for your comment.  I'm quite new to Cosmofunnel and am finding it very cathartic.

Let it all go ! :)

Your writing can release inner feelings you didn't know were there ! I find clarity in putting how I see the world down on the page !

Wishing you all the best !  :)

I've been trying to update my profile; I've recently moved from Papworth Everard to St Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I've edited my profile but Cosmofunnel still says I live in Papworth Everard.

"So much to try to understand"...  Ok, so this is only a minor frustration, but there are many many other problems in life.  **Sigh**

I haven't encountered that problem but I feel the best course of action is to message the Cosmofunnel Team if the system is not working as it should. They will be able to give you guidance !
