To Do List

Today I am trying to fight off depression. I sat at my desk 2 hours not being able to write anything. This is day 2 I've not written anything substantial. Just garbage class/work-group prompts that aren't worth anything. So I made a chores to do list and it ended up inspiring more bad poetry. But I decided to post it anyway. So be forewarned I'm just writing junk lately, no great moving poems like "Ocean" or "Immortality". Maybe it's myself fighting against the goals I know I must set this coming year. I don't know. One minute I'm trying and the next minute I can't be arsed to do it. Anyway, you were warned:

I made a to do list, To gather my thoughts:

Reach out to those that you know are friends.

Sit down and write when you can.

Remember there's a new day daily, it's never the end.

M Tu W Th F Sa Su

I made a to do list, I wrote it in ink:

Do not procrastinate.

Do all your chores.

Remember it's never as bad as you think.

M Tu W Th F Sa Su

I made a to do list, I hope I will follow:

No effort is wasted.

Remember self-care is essential

Your feelings are important, not hollow.

M Tu W Th F Sa Su

I made a to do list, I just needed to try:

Remember some people do like you.

Like yourself too.

It's OK to cry.
