A poem by Heidi Dischler

How do you do it all

Without sacrificing yourself?

Work, school, the personal things:

Prioritizing your health.

How can you possibly do it,

Keeping your house clean,

Working full time,

Trying so hard to be seen?

How is it even possible,

To take care of every other thing

When taking care of yourself

Makes your ears ring.

Can you show me how to do it?

To get it all done?

While also keeping the things I love

From coming undone?

The thing is you just can’t do it all,

So you might as well slow down,

Enjoy the world around you

Before all these things make you drown.
