The Daily Mind

Some days there is so much space between
my mind and my mouth,
it's frustrating.

Some people speak in poetry,
their words flow so evenly.
The kind I can write, but never say outright.

So here is my mind, in pieces.
Randomly placed in order.


Retraining.
Learning how to be with healthy people again. Good people again.
Happy hearted, and soul solid.

I figured it out the other day.
I am simply reacting the way I'm used to, but not the way I want to.
I am holding back,
ducking beneath the tree of everything I lack.

I cut down that tree down yesterday,
I'm just going to do what comes naturally.
No overthinking.
No determining.

Just do it. Don't hold back.

Every morning, when my mind awakes,
my intention loud, feeling proud,
"Follow my heart, follow my soul.
Embrace the moment and see the end goal.

No expectations, no waiting for the moment.

Do it with love and happily. "

Then I let go.
The fear, the ache,
and just do what comes naturally.

Just the other day,
some things I meant to say,


...........................
" How's your driving? Not just ok.
You handle the car like you handle your life.
Confident. Strong. A little reckless, but controlled.
I totally trust you out there,
don't worry, you got this."

......................................

Always. Always.
Let your actions mimic your words.
Let your words mimic your actions.

If your down in life, everything sucks. Depression plucks.
But each moment, take a look.
It's deeper, and brighter, far better then a book.

Can we just start to balance each other out?
We've all got chaos to remember dancing through our heads,
I'm sorry I forgot the keys, and didn't make the beds.
Life takes so much energy,
it sometimes takes our memory.

Pick up the small pieces, we can't do it all.
It's not about mistakes, really, we are all that small.

Don't spite, don't hate, but don't worry if you're already too late.
Let love be back in, and say sorry to your mate.

Life's too short to worry about love.
Say it, don't say, just go above.

People make mistakes often, daily, hourly.
Their reactions weird and misinformed.
Learn from it, change it.
Move on, and stop being sourly.

I love wearing my heart on my sleeve.
It sometimes gets hurt from it,
but that's ok, because I'll learn from it.
Embrace it, stop and listen, feel from it.

Saying I love you too much NEVER
diminishes the emotion from it".


Just don't, whatever you do,
Forget about love.
Say it, don't say it, just rise above.
