One great man once said: “grave is the riches place on earth.”
Am feeling that am becoming grave to my own dreams and desires.
It’s been 2 weeks, am out of vocal,
Not because I don’t have stories to write,
Down within, it is bubbling, and it hurt to hold back.
But out there the obstacles,
What are there? O they are:
Poor internet connectivity -should I blame the climate change?
Ongoing power blackouts -this one I am blaming my government,
When you have a daily plan and then the unforeseen.
It is unlikely to achieve by goal of writing x 1 story per day,
The situation is unreliable and unpredictable,
I feel like a turtle.
And the story of the turtle and rabbit inspires me too!

Brilliant poem sweetheart ⭐️🏆✍️⭐️
Awww this is so relatable. We do get slowed down by life. Excellent poem.
I often feel like a turtle too many times. We are often slowed down in many ways but we must keep pressing on. Never give up. Loved your story.
Irene, your honesty about these struggles really resonates! Keep pushing through those obstacles like that turtle—slow and steady wins! 🐢
I'm so sorry for those obstacles. Poor Internet and power blackouts are terrible. So happy to have you back!
