Tight gut
Grinding teeth
Merry-go-round thoughts
I've got things to do!
Scribbled words
reaching out
tumbling emotions
I've got things to do!!
Pushed focus
Over analyze
Web search
Ah, there's a direction!
timid prayer
read, think
Begin now?
I've got things to do.

Cool, Lee.
You really capture that frantic feeling we've all add--where do I start???
The repetition works. Plays up that frazzled energy. Then "Ah, there's a direction!" is a nice, unexpected turn.
Thank you, San! Frantic feeling was exactly how I felt when I wrote that poem.
Sometimes I can use the energy of deadline pressure to motivate me to kick into high gear. That was part of what you heard in the poem.
Glad you liked it.
