To Be Conscious of the Conscientious

In my hands, I hold a list What to do, where to do it, when to do it Everything I want to accomplish Written before me in organized text Check off the next item Add another two items for every one completed When will it end? Can I schedule when it will end? Pained by my own desires to be organized In a world controlled by never-ending chaos I take a deep breath Making a conscious effort to experience mindfulness Feeling the air in my lungs Cool and crisp, yet hardly unique Slowly exhaling Experiencing a brief pause I look down at my list again Tranquility, Inner Peace, Momentary Relaxation Check... Check Underline Momentary... Check
