Scribbled Thoughts

Organise time

and predict others’ needs,

stand-by for action

and pause your reaction.

Sculpture your personality

to please strangers,

then shut down your functions

as you’re forgotten,

too unmemorable

to be cared for.

Try to slow your mind

to decipher what’s real,

but how do you escape yourself

enough to know

who you really are now,

and if you ever were

you at all.

One touch

to melt all barriers

and shutdown

the stress of today,

postponing

it until tomorrow.

Greet the grass

by ripping it apart

and throwing the remains

like confetti

to proudly display

your triumph

of conquering the outside.

Shake off the fog of misery

and appreciate

all you have,

snuggle closer to your comfort

and pray it never leaves.

Heavy days happen

but live through

and breathe again.

Categorise your symptoms

to be told you’re stressed,

problem solved,

juts learn to relax

and all your problems will be gone…

Why aren’t you relaxed yet?

What’s wrong with you?

Stop being so dramatic,

it’s only stress,

get over it.

Stride out with purpose

but forget a vital piece,

now you linger,

refusing to admit defeat

but unable to complete your task

until you return

to the start.

Warmth slows thoughts,

able to repeat actions

but imagination deserting,

causing the day to drag on

and the empty feeling

to expand beyond

a simple remedy

of extra energy.

Seek out a cure of

a cool rush

and revive what threatens

to flee into dormancy.

Quick whit

to counter monotone,

draw out caring

and begin something special.

Something you’ll

never forget.
