Kitty's Verses

I wasn’t a solitudinarian,

Always up and about,

Meeting people, visiting places,

Up and about,

Now, I have been carved,

A mythical creature’s design,

A design they deemed desirable.

I wasn’t a solitudinarian,

I am on the lookout, now,

Of a person to talk to,

While, they just stand in awe of my uncommon self,

I try to belong,

I try to speak,

I try to wave,

Amongst them, yet aloof,

Standing in the Sun, all day,

Isolated,

Burns me inside out,

Burnout,

Grant a voice, I want to talk.

But modern tellers of Greek myth have usually been men, and have routinely shown little interest in telling women’s stories. And when they do, those women are often painted as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil.

PROMPT #184

A word prompt this week…

BURNOUT

There is no restriction on length of the piece. There is no last date either, unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.

Too much seclusion and not enough to keep me occupied 
Can also cause burnout 
Too much work and not enough time to relax
Can also cause burnout 
If there is no balance in lifestyle, we suffer 
Too much of one thing or the other can exhaust us
Idealistic conditions are never on life’s menu
Create your own harmony and balance
