Welcome,
Beautiful souls.
This is JB,
Bringing you some food for thought.
Not another conference call.
Time to put on my brightest fake smile.
Even though the last one I can recall ended with loads of information that was not even worthwhile.
Constantly trying to keep up with this new way because of this social distancing thing,
But it makes me feel so much further away from the warm sun,
The green grass and spring.
Stuck here in this little front room now office,
Trying to get all my work done.
My mind wandering off to places far away,
Feelings of fear and sadness have overcome.
I'm going to put my commute and hope they don't even notice how I long for that noisy and busy commute,
Being on the daily train ride in a form of hypnosis.
So now all my days are stuck here on call after call.
It's so crazy.
Does anybody even care what I say or if I don't speak up,
Will they think that I'm lazy?
I think I have to change my thinking.
Unlike this mic,
I can't just mute my feelings.
I have to focus on positive thoughts that are uplifting and work on doing some self healing.
My voice just can't be muted because when I think about it,
I have so much to say.
A new attitude I have to impose,
This dark cloud forming I will have to chase away.
I have to tell someone they're making a mistake,
Keeping us all locked behind the computer screen when the feelings of loneliness overtake and being socially awkward becomes a new routine.
We have to slowly reintegrate,
Take the time to get back out.
New relationships we have to now create and getting back to the new normal throughout.
So today I take myself off mute.
I can shout out loud and say,
I'm now going to contribute in each and every way.
Now making plans to get back outside,
Joining everyone amongst the living,
Not avoiding everyone,
Just feeling pride.
Each person I see a smile I am giving.
Sometimes we were meant to be amongst people,
Not always by ourselves.
No longer will I look outside and feel tearful.
My confidence now I will mend.
Being brave,
I'll take my lunch break in the park,
Even sit and have my sandwich on the beach,
Watch some kids have a lark,
Start to feel so much less tense.
Now I've come full circle.
I'm not going to put my voice on mute.
My words have great meaning,
Which nobody can dispute.
I'm going to smile in every conference call for I know I can do this.
The love I have for myself,
I can always recall self criticism.
I will resist.
And one day very soon,
We will all be back out,
Rubbing shoulders with each other,
Enjoying being social again without a doubt.
Life can throw us curveballs and sometimes make us feel down.
But today I shall face the world with joy and know I am mentally no longer in lockdown.
Today is mine.
And that I can't deny my day to do things differently.
My day to just keep smiling a day to look to the world confidently.
Join me today my friends feel confident about your path and smile while looking at yourself and say this self love to shall last.
