mindless monotony

I should be in bed..I should've written my report tonight, or paid the bills
shoulda coulda woulda
Ah.. there is something so soothing about living alone,
yet I find myself lost.
Silence echos through my rooms,
meaningless tasks around every corner...
swiffer me! iron me! fold me! cook me! paint me! fix me! caulk me!

I refuse..

An overwhelming sense of responsibility envelopes me
till I can breathe no more.

A break in the silence is needed to regain the sanity
...pause...snuggle my puppy..

Things are back to normal.. But only for the moment..
Shortly my mind will revert back to its ravenous ways...

Its like a never ending reel of an awful cartoon
spooling through my brain, using the backs of my eyelids as the canvas
displaying every...single. ridiculous.MUNDANE thing I could possibly be doing...

other than sleeping..

SO, I will take so tylenol PM, wash it down with some milk
and hope this time it works .
