Busy A poem by Sue Ellson I am busy, so busy I don’t have time to think I am busy, so busy So close to the brink I am busy, so busy I can’t face the demons inside I am busy, so busy So I can allow them to hide I am busy, so busy Just keeping up with life I am busy, so busy Trying to keep out of strife I am busy, so busy That’s why I don’t call I am busy, so busy So close to a fall I am busy, so busy There is no time for sleep I am busy, so busy That’s why I say bleep I am busy, so busy Please be kind whilst I am away I am busy, so busy It’s me, not you, who cannot stay I can’t be controlled But I am in a rut You can’t make suggestions I will just say ‘but’ So please be kind Let me speak my mind And one day I will reveal What I can no longer conceal The loss, the pain, the grief from the past The sadness, the despair, the disappointments that last I need your love Your listening ear Your kindest words Some jolly good cheer I just need somewhere safe To deal with this stuff I don’t want to fear An unfortunate rebuff When I find it within Or through people who tune in I will start to heal And begin to be real I might slow down Or completely stop For a moment A month or even longer More at https://sueellson.com/blog/busy #poem #poetry #sueellsonpoem #busypoem
