Thieves
“I hate it when people are late,
or they don’t show up.”
a friend said,
They steal our time I thought
and the only thing worse
is when I steal my own.
When I choose things
that distract me and keep me
from accomplishing anything.
Then I realized I stole time
away from my friends,
especially when I say yes
winding up with too much on my plate,
because I have yet to learn to
just say no.
Before I know it,
it is midnight
and I am exhausted
and I wonder where the day went
and why I still have things left
to do because someone
or something
stole my time.
It’s not just my time,
it’s my energy.
it’s why my spiritual practices
are so important.
They protect my environment,
my habits
and others from stealing my energy.
My security system is working
to keep those who drain and complain
or want to drop off a basket of
drama and worry
from tapping into my system.
But at times, I find myself
once again stealing my own energy
by the lies I try to tell myself
about how unqualified,
underserving,
and unworthy I am.
Sometimes the thieves in our life
are others,
but sometimes,
we are the thieves in our own lives.
