Haywire

Always been a scatterbrain. Won’t recognize myself any other way…there are so many thoughts running in my mind simultaneously. At this rate, I’ll go crazy very soon. Need a better routine that makes life a little more organized. Everything is too frenzied right now. Am constantly on my toes and thinking about this and that. Too many things I want to do at once and am accomplishing nothing. Had heard a few lines, don’t remember them entirely but something to the effect of,
“He lived a life of “to-do”
And died with nothing done”
Pretty scary. If I continue this way of life……I don’t wish to complete that sentence.

There was one beautiful poem that crosses my mind very often.

Riches I hold in light esteemAnd Love I laugh to scornAnd lust of Fame was but a dreamThat vanished with the morn–
And if I pray, the only prayer That moves my lips for me Is–"Leave the heart that now I bear And give me liberty."
Yes, as my swift days near their goal 'Tis all that I implore Through life and death, a chainless soul With courage to endure!
When you believe in lines like these and are burdened with worldly care…
