Escaping, diverting, redirecting, aren’t the options.
And, what do you even try to escape? Yourself?
Just sit, will you?
Sit with the whirlwind of your negative thoughts.
Just feel, will you?
Feel the dire intensity of those negative emotions.
Don’t push them away for they will grip you even tighter.
Don’t try to silence them for they will shout even louder.
Don’t even try to avoid them for you know you just can’t.
Just give them some time, to say all that they want to.
Just give them space, to arrive and leave as they like.
Don’t attach to them. Don’t try to judge them.
Just calmly ask them where have they come from?
They’ll take you to the unkempt parts of your being.
They’ll help you see yourself in a different light.
They’ll make you know yourself better than you do.
You might like to think they’ll kill you because they
are negative, but they’re actually here for a save.
They are here to save you from yourself.
