Under Attack

Do this Do that
pulled in one direction
then another and another
overwhelmed
under attack

comes from all sides
a To Do list long as my arm
one at a time 
knocking off
a few things
here and there
nothing earth shattering
but with consistency

keeping at it
with each checkmark
one less project
looms over my head

with each sigh
I can almost breathe
and forget the constancy
of me under attack

I love having a to-do list. I make one for myself daily, so this made me smile.
