These tasks I have to do are worth it

to shut other things out
to concentrate at the shops
to deal with the tasks that I have to do

it clears my head in my existence
of high thinking, plain living
although it feels like fleeting thoughts

I breathe the silence in
I stay cool, calm, and collected
I think of beauty, and love for beauty

and I try to begin each day
with good thoughts again

but then it slips away

into negativity, but always return

once more some other time

of another day

yet all around my bed

I can see my art

all around my room

forever and a day
