Emotional Rehabilitation

Emotional Rehabilitation

I have always wondered why people needed some time alone to figure things out

I have often blurted out,'what in heavens name do they need?'

'Are their lives really that damaged?'

But soon without realizing it

I also begun to feel the need to isolate myself-to have an alone time

I needed a rehab 

Not to see a shrink

And pour out my life's pitiful miseries 

To a group of people who are in desperate need of a 'savior'

I just need time alone

An emotional rehab 

Time to build myself up

A time to make my fiber stronger

To fuel and cool off  my overheating engine

A time to read wide

A time to polish my language

A time away from people

A time alone

It's not that I'm broken

Far from it!

I just need a little time to satisfy the urge to be better

Bruised, battered and overwhelmed on every side

I suddenly feel the need to go on a break.......

Only to apply my brakes,

As I have wheeled myself through my life-yes, my life

Everyone needs a break

Even trees that have been sapped of their water, nutrients and green break 

Even no matter how rigid plastic becomes when heat applied

It reaches it breaking point

And snap!

It's two!

Or worse, has many broken pieces!

So when life gives a call

When it wants the room-with you alone

Pick that call

Search through your thoughts 

Apply yourself to a productive past time 

Give yourself that break🙌

You've earned it!!!!
