Locked In A Thought
Is A Real Thing
When our brain focuses
It is not always in our control
It can go from the past to the present in a split second
Riding the highs to the real down lows
It can mean trouble
Think of all the thoughts we have encountered
Each leaving us with a different feeling
These feelings come and go
They can drive us to success
At the same time crush us
So small like dust
We may see it happening
We may even understand each feeling
Then feel powerless in that very moment
I have always tried to guide my feelings
To a more positive place
I have experienced a very shocking and unbelievable
Roller coaster ride
It is always up to us to decide
How much is too much
How to turn this sinking ship around
If we ride it out to the end
We may crash and lose everything
This is life
We hear all about what makes someone succeed
They hang on
Even after everyone else is long gone
Hold on snoopy, hold on
I keep trying to review each situation
Let the bad in my life fuel my inspiration
There is a fine line
That is so easy to cross
It can bring us from goodness to lost
In a blink of an eye
There is no one guide
To help us navigate through dangerous waters
There are many constants in our life
That keep us grounded
For me they are eating, working, sleeping , making love, friendships and comedy
These are a few of the main central themes
Then there are some thoughts that are on the fence
Hobbies that we enjoy
Writing and reading
Work so well for me
Sports or other activities that we recieve great satisfaction
Running years ago now just walking
Some thoughts criss-cross and fall in multifple catagories at one time
It is always our choice
To completely stop
Even after we worked so darn hard
Long after the sun has dropped from the sky
Burning the late night hours
We can constantly second guess our every move
Then again we can pat ourselves on the back
Do what we can
To close the gap
To make enough things make sense
To carry the rest over
Like a number in your head
When doing complex and difficult long hand addition problems
Calming the voices in your head
Streamlining your way
To a better day
it might be what you always wanted
Now you have it in the palm of your hand
Celebrate
You have just done
What most of the world will never do
Reaching far into your strongest gut feelings
Let them surface
Like the white blue caps
Of the beautiful ocean tide
