My Self Argues With My Self
I should be jumping up and down in delight
Congratulating myself profusely for
Getting rid of four truckloads of stuff
I was not using and probably would have never used.
But instead I am thinking of how
Much more there is to do. Yes, there is a lot.
I have accumulated this junk over eleven years.
Should I really be kicking myself that I have not
Gone through all of it in a week?
I am trying to reason with a self that is choosing
To not be reasonable. I want it all gone right now!
My unreasonable self is screaming. It felt so good
To see the closet door again!
We begin our daily tussle.
