Distractions

A Poem about Focus

I set a goal, and off I go
with focus and attention
Suddenly I’m all off track
What was my intention?

Little things can throw me off
Like chores, my phone, and men
I must get centered and regroup
Try and start again

This time, right now, I’ve set aside
To write and heal and be
All alone, with no one else
but God, myself and me

Can I stay the course and do
what I have planned ahead
or will I let these sparkling things
throw me off track instead?
