Im so tired of feeling so murky. When I try to think about how it feels to be inside my head, all I can think is PEA SOUP!
My mind is full of it. All my thoughts are covered in it. I have this sense of urgency and panic in me that Ive forgotten something horribly important all the time but when I try to put my finger on what it could be, I get more pea soup.
Every now and then a tender, lip-smacking chunk of ham will float to the top of my soupy existence. "Ah-HA! I remember now. I NEED to get this done!" I will think in a moment of clarity.
Carefully, I dip my spoon into the soup that has become my life trying to pluck this one needful chunk. I have to chase it around like a lone tea leaf in my cup of tea that doesn't want to be extracted. And then it sinks back down into the soup. Lost.
Whatever it was, I think it was important... I try to stir this pot and unsettle the bits at the bottom, but I come up empty handed. Empty spooned. Empty ladled...
My mind turns and churns in tune with my stomach. Queasy and peasy. This is what I have become. Murky and lost in my Pea Soup.
