There was a place
For everything
And everyone,
Separate from each other
As if their joining together
Would cause disorder.
Each moment
Had its reason for being
And its function defined.
Not one minute was wasted
Until I realized I squandered
The most important thing of all:
The people who loved me.
I isolated myself from them
By keeping busy with
Projects abound and
Novels of fantasies
That would never be mine.
Detached and enervated,
I lost my motivation
For living.
I have to learn to
Become more disorganized
Or at least put
My priorities in order.
