The special ball

For now, I've yet to understand this special ball...
It exudes interesting qualities:
Bright on the outside
yet bursting with air within.

I've been with this special ball
for years. It has always been unique.
There is always this joy at seeing it.

Now, it has suddenly become too bouncy to bounce,
too sticky to handle
so different from the very special ball I first knew.

Oh how I wished it remained the way it was in the first place,
when it was young, lively and with just the right amount of air
How I really wish...

More Time!

A day goes by,
than a few days,
than a week.
Whoosh... just like that.

The things that need to be done aren't done
and the things that needn't be done are done.

The result?
An overwhelmed mind,
flu and an exhausted body.

Time, I need more time

but yet I know,
it's prioritization
that I lack.
