New Soldering

Sam called on my day off

It's priority one

A fire drill at work

Only I can solve

I was mad at the lack of boundary

Then I felt the dread in his delivery

I elect to step into hero mode for Sam again

That's where I lose notions of me

Notice of promises I wouldn't chase activity

To feel right

It's the little slip that leads to burnout happening faster

It was so easy to feed

A work addiction

With no one wed to me

I hate what Brooke has to see

When I am the zombie

And all I crave are brains

I elect to step out of overdrive for us this time

To foster new soldering

Honoring promises I wouldn't chase activity

To feel right

To find more to life than service to an overtime pattern

But a little slip can lead to burnout happening faster

I elect to step into better balance over time
