Not Required

Since it wasn't required

I went to bed as early

as I desired

I rose this morning

without a fight

and did some

exercises

to make my

body feel right

I ate a good for me breakfast

I set a course for my day

A good mixture of chores

and a strong dose of play

It's amazing what you can do

when you don't have to

Anything you desire

just because it's not required

No Motivation

so much to do

no motivation

trying to pretend

I'm on a staycation

dancing in the dark

playing at the park

listening to music

singing like a lark

so much to do

no motivation

I tried to pretend

but I need a vacation

foreign lands

ivory sands

roaming hands

that would be grand

so much to do

no motivation

pretending no more

takes dedication

trying new hobbies

like yoga and meditation

meeting new people

for my edification
