Ruminations
I guess I don’t have a say
where my mind will go today.
From my seat I can see everything.
Memories accompanied by a familiar sting.
Mistakes, embarrassments, and
awkward moments
Re-lived on a loop as if
a self-atonement.
Don’t think, don’t think
I try my best.
But no amount of effort puts them to rest.
I wonder what value evolution saw.
Making me peel back feelings so raw.
I suppose humility is an important skill.
But sometimes I think I got more than my fill.
I know it will pass eventually
But when I fight it grows exponentially.
From don’t think, to don't fight.
Resistance only serves to insight.
Time is all it takes to abate.
Practice can help bear the weight.
Focus on the present instead.
And in time your mind will get ahead.
