Do you put me away in a box Just the way you used to tidy away your toys as a child Did your Mother say ... *One thing at a time Put away what isn't needed right now* So here I am Sitting in my box Waiting Yep I understand It would be easier by far if I didn't maybe You are busy With responsibilities Your world becomes smaller I think when I saw you last just for a moment I realised how hard you find it all It is an art Sharing yourself with more than one person at a time Sharing your time I did give a sideways comment on the fact that if this was a permanent thing I would never see you You assured me you would be better at organising things if that was the case It makes me wonder if that is true Are you really able to tip all your toys in the middle of the carpet Are you able to de-compartmentalize your relationships Or will you pack your toys away tidy at the end of the day Would mother still agree that this is such a good way to be?

Compartmentalization
Do you put me away in a box Just the way you used to tidy away your toys as a child Did your Mother say ... *One thing at a time Put away what isn't needed right now* So here I am Sitting in my box Waiting Yep I understand It would be easier by far if I didn't maybe You are busy With responsibilities Your world becomes smaller I think when I saw you last just for a moment I realised how hard you find it all It is an art Sharing yourself with more than one person at a time Sharing your time I did give a sideways comment on the fact that if this was a permanent thing I would never see you You assured me you would be better at organising things if that was the case It makes me wonder if that is true Are you really able to tip all your toys in the middle of the carpet Are you able to de-compartmentalize your relationships Or will you pack your toys away tidy at the end of the day Would mother still agree that this is such a good way to be?
Does anyone in your life have the same problem .... what does compartmentalization mean to you?
