Luxury of Carelessness

I'm allowing myself 
the indulgence of an off day,
granting permission to silence,
soaking in selfishness
and pulling the morning in after me.
I'm taking a break, I'm walking away,
ignoring whatever you have to say.
Is there anything so luxurious
as learning not to care?
I need a reprieve, a temporary leave.
But when tomorrow comes again
with its usual troubles,
I'll be back to old habits,
sacrificing my peace to deal with it.
