Ignored to Invaluable: The Power of Attention - 225

 

I do not have five minutes today, 

I am far too busy you see,

I am a unique person,

And my day is filled with my own needs.

I can't give you give minutes,

No matter if you beg and plead

I am far too busy with my own life

What is it that you can't see?

You keep asking for my time

Though I've been clear I have none

You seem to think I just spend time at leisure

That my life is just all fun

But I have stresses and worries

And problems that get more complex every day

So you must understand my friend

I have no time for what you have to say

Though you are important

I've got too many dire priorities

If only I was not so over promised

I could give your blog a read.

But I have no time to check in on you,

Though it is just a link to click,

And all that has happened while I've explained to you

Is more time has gone and ticked

You can make it simple to understand,

You can make it easy to digest,

But with me having no time for you

I miss out on all the rest.

BUT

hi hi hi I'm not busy! 

i can spare five, maybe even fifteen!

i can make room in my world,

for you to feel seen

you are worthy of attention

and the regular check ins

i would love to read your observations

or even stories of your sins

i have struggles sure, 

and sometimes i'll be a bit overwhelmed

i might even not be able to steer my mind

and ask you to take the helm

but five mintues is easy

i won't let your efforts sit in rust

i'll give you however many minutes you need

no matter what
