Just Another Day

And some days it seems like it will be enough
The handling of the day
Getting through it and out on the other side
Working one's way down a list
Every check mark an accomplishment
A moment here or there that matters
Moving toward something
Then there are the days less often
The disquieting of the temperament
The yearning for the not-yet known
Regret mixes with possibility at the change
Minutes seems like days
And decisions are made over the course of the thoughts

About this poem:

Some days are easy, when work is demanding and fruitful, and others days I find myself overly reflective...

I know growth often comes from reflection, so sometimes it is welcome. But other times I want to turn it off.

thought and reflection are good if used for healing. An endless
loop that we often get into can be wasteful though.

I agree, too much reflection can lead to regret and ultimately despair. Once you reach that point, time becomes a wasted element that we find ourselves lost in.
