Just follow the to-do list

For a moment, it’s gone.
Feel no emotions.
No love, no pain, no happiness, no sadness.
Nothingness, and eerie stillness.
No motive for actions, just follow the to-do list.

Then comes the river of emotions.
Pain. Anger. Frustration. Love. Care. Happiness.
All at once.
The cocktail of emotions.
Overwhelmed, not knowing what to do, just follow the to-do list.

And suddenly, the senses are back.
Composure and calm return.
Aware of all the possibilities of the world.
Feel all the emotions; express the feelings with ease.
Motivations internalized, make the to-do list.

Factors beyond the human breath.
Puppets to the creator’s mesh.
Strings of hormones, people, weather, email log, sugar, and sleep.
And the proportion of these influences the kind of day.
I know not how to control these.
All I can do is follow the to-do list.
