Because my therapist thinks I should…

Try To Meditate

Close your eyes
Get comfortable
Relax as best you can
Head to toe

Let the stress melt away
Arms, legs, torso
Warm, heavy, comfy
This part I can do

Clear your mind
Pause your thoughts
Breathe in
Breathe out
Let your thoughts go
Concentrate on a
Single syllable

No, brain, don’t
Jump to what you
Should be doing
Drag the brain back
To that single thought

But…
There’s bills to pay
Poems to write
Letters and cards to send
Stop
No distracting yourself!

Breathe in
Breath out
Relax
Refresh
Rewind

Let the stress
Pass out of your soul
Think that syllable again
