With Burnout Sadness It crept up on me my career dark side slowly consuming like a cordyceps growing from within and leaving a lifeless shell Yet in I go Each day a nail in the casket that used to be my life's vision my passion now gone Anonymous |
After burnout Renew If only I had known in the depths of work meltdown that the solutions were so near a simple grasp away If only I had known that "I" was still "in there" waiting to be set free longing to be seen I could have moved ahead so much sooner so much faster avoiding years of pain Now liberated from torture I live each day anew Thankful that I can be me Work....... at last - as me.

The Burnout Geese poem Begin the burnout journey When career light has been dimming and the treadmill just won't stop your energy now draining with frustrations fit to pop The dragging of your body each day it’s into work your steps no longer steady instead just thin ice lurks Then one day as you’re sliding that ice - it shows some cracks you see them ever clearly alongside those fading tracks You deny it could be burnout hours lost in escape dreams you know there’s something wrong as there's creaks at all the seams It does not have to be so leave the ice and find our rock we know you'll find your footing when you join our friendly flock But if you’re truly wanting all that suffering to cease just make that one decision and fly to Burnout Geese |
Why poems?Writing can facilitate both the initial acceptance of burnout and contribute to the healing.
http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/1999-04294-000 Writing poems or keeping a journal is not for everyone but can be a surprisingly effective step in any life situation where things need to change. Poetry writing can act as a catharsis or outlet as well as highlighting unhelpful thought processes. This is not to suggest that proper support can be bypassed in the resolution of burnout but it is thought and, is our experience - that writing can be an invaluable self help step . We would love to put your poem on this page (anonymous is fine) about burnout and the recovery process ( reading before and after burnout poems can be helpful in seeing that burnout can be turned around). Please allow your creative side to emerge at whatever phase of burnout you are in right now and submit your poem today. When you have used some of the resources on this site and have resolved your burnout please consider revisiting this page to send a second poem when you are no longer suffering burnout. |
