Punctuality by Lewis Carroll

And when the hour arrives, be there,

Written for the dual prompts: I know what it looks like for @fictober-event and the writers write Oct prompt: Punctual.

Original work

Personal writing

On time

Reliable

Someone you can count on

Punctual

I know

I was once all these things

Hardly missing a day of work

A person to be counted on when a babysitter was needed

( Oh how I loved watching my Holli grow up)

Daily walks with my dogs

So

I know how this looks

On my bed by two

Barely have the energy to video chat with Holli

Never mind watching her or sweet Violet

Yes

I know what it looks like to those who don’t know

Taken the dogs out front with walks regulated to my brother

No work with housework wearing me out

A shower is exhausting

Yes, it looks like I am lazy

Given up on an active life

From the outside, it is easy to misunderstand

But,

To those who know

To those who understand

Understand that Fibromyalgia is a thief

It takes your life and flips it around

We fibro warriors are fighting daily

No

It isn’t what it looks like
