What truly runs the mind when all is still,
Love,
Fear,
Which one do I let drive.

I know I should say love,
But the gentle touch of love,
Often gets the squeeze,
To the relentless grip of fear.

My mind is in constant motion,
Sometimes I just wish for quietness,
Maybe harmony,
Without the chatter.

I love to think, but sometimes just be,
I need to rediscover the solitude,
The joy,
Of living completely in the present.

What truly runs my mind when all is still,
It’s a battle of anxiety and peace,
Why is it so damn hard to choose peace,
I must be crazy.

It’s odd what we program our minds to activate automatically,
I want to reprogram,
I want to discover,
The life I once new without fear.
