[Poem 257] If You Are Only Thinking About It 1143

What I imagine
What I end up thinking about
Anxiety, impatience, and regret
Unable to move forward, unable to go back
Worrying
Lost, troubled
Deep in thought
Standing still, crouching down
A day spent only imagining passes
A day spent only thinking passes
A day spent only being lost passes
A day that produces nothing goes by
If you are only going to think about it
At least think of things you like
Things that are fun
Things that keep your heart at peace
If you are going to spend the same day
At least think of places you want to go
Things that feel good
Only of the people you want to see
