Measured in cups

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

My parents always say
We’re proud of you
I am too
I got out of bed
I used to get so much done
My priorities haven’t changed
Just my unit of measure
I used to measure in hours,
Dollars and minutes
Squeezing time increments
Squeezing dollars and pennies
More than you thought possible
How do you measure the abstract?
Now I measure in cups
Cups of coffee
Being independent and self sufficient
My accomplishment
Now I measure in friendships
Conversations and meals
Poems and coloring books
Hugs and rest and hot baths
If this is a race
I won’t come in first
I hope it’s a marathon
Cause I’ll be happy
Just to finish
