A to Z Challenge - Undertake

Undertake

to understand the human condition
I always feel like the understudy in my life
caught in the undertow
in my underwear

certainly undermined by doubts
universal need to unlock key to utopia


I vacillate

    Well, if you're caught in an undertow, your underwear should be washed clean at that point.

    I think a lot of us feel that way :)

    'the understudy in my life' - wow, I love that line. It definitely applies to me sometimes.

      Thanks. Our artistic leanings keep us in the lurch

    Hi Joanne - I'd definitely be very doubtful about being caught in an undertow ... my underwear doesn't bear a look in! Cheers Hilary

    I think being the understudy in my life would be best.
    Because I'M the headliner in my life.
    And that's depressing.

    Oh, I just HATE it when I get caught in an undertow in my underwear.

    Not as much of a problem here. Too far from the ocean!

    Nice job! I like the way you began and ended the poem.

    The good news is that the understudy can take on the actual role they're studying for when the opportunity arises.

    Ah, so well done. I think we all feel unsure and exposed and self-conscious as we attempt to understand the world around us.

    It's no good to feel like the understudy. We must step out of the shadows!

      Understudy still gets paid. Less pressure?

    Haha. I suppose it's better than being caught naked. It could always be worse.
