My Second Attempt at Poetry

Surrender

Every day my list grows.
Each item I check off
Celebrated yet diminished
By the additions.

Mundane tasks and errands
Always make the list.
Leaving the important things
Fighting for inclusion.

Tonight I stop the struggle
for a moment of quiet
blanketed by the darkness
whispering lullabies to you.
