alleviate: A Poem

 sometimes I rewrite things to feel better
 make lists
 order them
 rearrange them
 cross things off to document my small success
 the laundry is finally done
 hooray
  
 it’s like
 I need to see it to believe it
 to stop thinking about it 
 but half the time it doesn’t even work 
  
 blessed are those who believe without seeing
 for they actually believe there’s a kingdom 
 and that must be nice
