Something

I don't need to take a shower.

I'm not going anywhere.

I don't need to grab a snack.

I ate yesterday.

I don't need to clean my desk.

If I can see Discord over the pile of empty cans, I can see this too.

I don't need to clean my room.

I'm just going to sit in this chair anyway.

I don't need to do the dishes.

They're up there. I'm down here.

I don't need to plan my day.

It's already over half gone. That'd be pointless.

I don't need to make a list.

I can do that later. Tonight, after I have done this.
I will make the list tonight. Now, it is time for this.

I don't need to worry about work.

I can do that tomorrow, on Monday.

I don't need to finish that other thing.

This one is exactly as important right now.
After I have done this, I can start on that.
But first.... this.

I don't need to panic.

What will be will be; it is what it is.

I don't need to make a promise.

It won't make what I actually do any more impactful.

I don't need to hit the reset button.

That is the easy way.
Give me the hard way.

I don't need to find a picture.

Call it minimalism.

I don't need to make this post long.

Call it free verse poetry or #something.
As in doing something. It's something.
If you don't like it, you just don't appreciate art.
Works for those sculptures made of garbage, right?

I don't need to explain.

Anyone who truly cares will understand.

I don't need to feel lonely.

They will still be there when I am finished.

And.

They will like me better, once I like myself. 🍋
