Constraints

There are times when situations in life has one in a bind
It may get challenging to make time to relax and unwind
It may not be easy for all to communicate their state of mind
One may continuously think of possibilities to get out of the grind

One may keep wondering as to reasons why life has suddenly changed
It may be difficult to find a way out of the complexities that have descended
One may feel that the Universe has conspired together to be unkind to them
One may get skeptical and wonder why only their life lacks any element of fun

One needs to realize that Nature in various seasons beats to a different rhythm
Each experience is unique as one goes through different phases in course of time
It would be wiser to accept the reality and focus on internal factors to better adapt
It may be in self-interest to be less critical in dealing with situations that one is not adept

An acute sense of perception would make one acknowledge the factors in their favor
An honest assessment would make one develop gratitude and get one out of their stupor
A focus on facing the challenges as they come and living in the present
May go a long way in living a life beyond known constraints and work on their ascent!

A timely read for me!! Been struggling this week to stay ahead of all the myriad things on my plate. Some are in my control and most just out of my reach. But have been backing myself that the flow of time will get me out of this phase. Nothing better to hit the sack than through external validation (in the form of your poem).

There is a reason for everything to happen and sometimes it's best not to fight certain battles you have no control on.

Late in the night, in going through your poem, there is some renewed energy.
