Universal Remote
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
