I came up with this idea for a poem. If we have more control of our thoughts, we could just feel calm and content, and get past stressful thoughts or anxiety.

If we stop to think about it, it is within our reach…

Clear Thoughts

Why can’t I just think what I want to think?

I want to stay calm and strong

All of the day long

How can I program my mind

To always feel fine

All of the time?

*

How can I just say what I want to say?

I want to go on and on

I want to belong

I should prove that I am kind

It is my design

All of the time

*

When we work together for the same cause

We get much further

When we press play not pause

*

Rock out the system

Get past any flaws

We work to live well

There is no more to tell

*

Why can’t I just be what I want to be?

I do not want to be wrong

Just want to get along

Can you just give me a sign?

To say we are fine

At any time

*

Why can’t I just do what I want to do?

I just want to play a song

All the day long
