The Cycle

Monday starts the week anew, 
‘Refreshed’ from the weekend,
A clear delineation, 
Before things start to blend

Tuesday a bit more wide awake,
And balancing it all,
It’s always Wednesday evening,
I seem to hit a wall

Thursday feels like Friday,
As the dishes pile high, 
The laundry is neglected,
Mind preoccupied

I tell myself this weekend,
Will be a chore-sy time,
But I think that then it seems that,
It’s Sunday night— bedtime. 

The end— the cycle starts again,
And I’m never quite caught up,
That is, until next weekend,

When I can dig out of this rut.
