OctPoWriMo 10 - I'm a Contradiction

Today's prompt is Power and Control.

I'm a Contradiction

I like to have control of what I do
And yet I love a list of tasks to do.
It sounds like I’m a contradiction, true:
I like to have control of what I do,
But I don’t want to lead or oversee.
Knowing what’s expected leaves me free;
I like to have control of what I do
And yet I love a list of tasks to do.

  1. I'm much the same way. I work in a job where I'm an independent contractor and write my own schedule. I don't get benefits, and I could probably make more money if I tried to get back into nursing. However, being able to write my own schedule means a lot, so I stick with delivering groceries.

  2. I'm a list maker too, although I rarely make my way through the whole thing. I especially like your final two lines. Well done!
