Afraid to go to sleep at night
Not because of monsters under the bed
Or skeletons in the closet
Sitting there in a daze , hoping for some light
There is a note in the book
What she thinks, every time she looks
There are things to do
Tasks to complete
Life is a checklist of dreams
I did this nor that
This is still pending
And some more
Life is indeed supreme
Tied in the affairs of the day
Swayed away by distraction
The to do list grows
And accomplished list shorter.
It grows
Living is a to-do list,
Checking it everyday
Stifling the creative rose
