“A Poem for Someone Who is Juggling Her Life
This is a poem for someone
who is juggling her life.
Be still sometimes.
Be still sometimes.
It needs repeating
over and over
to catch her attention
over and over,
as someone who is juggling her life
finds it difficult to hear.
Be still sometimes.
Be still sometimes.
Let it all fall sometimes. ”
I was talking to a friend the other day struggling to juggle it all. She shared about the guilt she felt for disappointing so many people — including herself. Perhaps you have felt the same way.
Afterwards I shared this poem with her. Perhaps it will encourage you too to “let it all fall sometimes.” It’s ok. The world won’t fall apart if you stop for a second and take a walk or nice bubble bath.
