Lessons to Learn

by Cheryl Merrick
Once again, I'm sitting here 
exhausted, sad, and frustrated.

My body's reserves gone,
I wonder how I can 
avoid "crashing" again.

What must I change?
What lessons do I need to learn?
Why do I push myself?
Why do I focus on some 
measurable goal, 
instead of remembering
why I have come to earth?

Why do I keep attempting
to prove my worth,
instead of reminding myself
that I'm a daughter of God?

Why do I spend my time 
doing things to impress others
and giving more help than
is good for both them and me?

Why do I listen to the loud 
cacophony of voices around me 
more than I listen to the 
still small voice of God?
