Thinking Too Loud

Illustration: Aidan Bongiorno

Sometimes she feels stuck, lost in the chaos of her thoughts,

Wandering aimlessly, not knowing what she wants.

She wakes up each day, trying to find her purpose,

But her mind is clouded with doubts and nervousness.

She thinks so deeply that she sinks into a hole,

Scared to come out, fearing failure will take its toll.

Why are her thoughts so negative and harsh?

Why can’t she find happiness or a sense of purpose?

She needs to stop and breathe, and take a moment to reflect,

To see the beauty around her, and the things she can perfect.

She doesn’t need to have a grand plan or a goal,

Sometimes just being kind and loving is enough of a role.

She should wake up each day with a smile and a light heart,

Excited to see what the day will bring, and where she can start.

Her dreams are a place of peace and tranquility,

A chance to escape the noise and the negativity.

She should embrace the loss of memory, and allow it to be her guide,

To focus on what should be and let go of what she can’t decide.

Each day is a new chance to find her way,

To embrace the present and let the past fade away.
