Poem
I wish I had a remote to control my thoughts It would be great to change the volume, mute or source If only I could change the negative thoughts channel to the sports channel. Or even change the channel to Cartoon Network or Disney Take me back to my childhood, when I wasn’t all sad and busy. Things were free and all I had to do was chores. Pause Jaws Let’s watch Harry Potter or Star Wars Sadly, I can’t escape my thoughts through Netflix or Hulu. You can’t escape you. These thoughts are a lot feels like I’m in quicksand I think I need a hand “How to escape?” I type on Google But all I see is get help or find a therapist on Yelp It’s overwhelming I’m confused I can’t breathe Covid? Cancer? Google, this is the last thing I need… With nowhere else to turn I look to you and your word How foolish of me You should’ve been first, But you weren’t even first, second or third. I need a cease and desist from my thoughts you see. Can you hear me? Please hear me I know your not a genie, But help me. Peace of mind is all I ask I’m tired of taking pills so my brain can quiet down My brain is like a hamster on a wheel Nonstop until it needs to breathe I think it’s time I need a water break. That big red button until the next day Power off for right now brain I need a break
