Mindfulness
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe Did I turn off the dryer Where is my phone This chair is hard
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe I’m sure I turned off the dryer Why can’t I sit still I need to rest Stop thinking stop it stop it
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe Breathedammit Concentrate Stop thinking be here now What is wrong with you I can’t take this any more How long has it been Don’t look at your watch Don’t look Don’t Oh god it’s only been three minutes Seventeen more minutes Stop looking stop thinking stop it
Breathe in
Breathe out

struggling and I felt my

Thank you for this poem.
You were being mindful of your worrying. Does that make sense? This is very good!
Were you inside my head when you wrote this? Great poem. Enjoyed and related to it!
Captured the clutter exactly. Mindfully done.
