Essential

I am not good
     at scheduling out time
                    for rest.

It feels inefficient
        wasteful
        extravagant even.

There are too many things that have to be done, and never enough time to accomplish them.

I wish I could find the time to do both:
     do enough
          and
     rest enough.

This time I am forced
          to rest.
     Sickness crammed it down my throat
                without my consent.

It’s needed
   necessary
   essential.

But in this context,
     it doesn’t feel very
               restful.
