Everyday I wake with hope,

I write a list as a way to cope.

Things to do and ways to be,

It's clear and focused, I could see.

I start out strong

Nothing goes wrong.

Until it does and I forget,

Then all the promises I reject.  

 

I wrote this as I was grappling with my lack of focus and my inability to get things done over a week's time.  Writing it made me feel a bit better because I could see more clearly what I was doing- mainly stating things and finding ways to avoid actually doing them.  Distractions are distracting, but they will always be there.  It is up to me to push them away and fulfill my promises...
