AN ACROSTIC (POETRY) USING THE WORD DISTRACTION.

Dwindling thoughts scattered in disarray, in a world of constant allure, Siren calls of diversions beguiling, tempting me to stray from my goal, reining in my focus becomes a battle, and yet I must resist the tantalizing pull, chasing after productivity and purpose, turning away from the whispers of distraction, Ignoring the temptations that hinder, Onward I march, steadfast and determined, narrowing my vision to what truly matters.

Indecision sways my purpose, leading me astray from my goals, A chaotic whirlwind of scattered thoughts, caught in the web of temptation, trading clarity for momentary escape, reveling in the realm of diversions, Avoiding the path of true accomplishment, captivated by the allure of distraction, tugging at my focus, testing my will, intertwined in this dance of wasted time, Oblivious to the precious moments slipping away, Nudging me further from my destination.

Surrounded by noise, my mind wanders, caught in the clutches of scattered thoughts, A whirlwind of distractions that pull me away, Temptations calling from every direction, running from focus, seeking instant gratification, acting as a barrier to progress and growth, Casting shadows upon my path, taking me off course, diverting my attention, invading my space, disrupting my peace, obstructing clarity, blurring my vision, Nudging me further from my goals.

Thoughts scattered like leaves in the wind, A battle for focus that I must win, caught in the web of endless attraction, reeling me in with each new distraction, I strive to stay centered, but it's a tough fight, surrounded by temptations, day and night, Onward I push, trying to break free, Navigating the chaos that clouds my decree.

Racing thoughts in a disarray, A constant battle to find my way, caught in the vortex of scattered mind, taking me off track, leaving me behind, reeling in the waves of temptation, I must resist, find my foundation, striving to refocus, regain control, and steer my ship towards my ultimate goal, In the midst of chaos, I find my peace, overcoming distractions, my strength released, navigating through the noise and strife, reclaiming my purpose, embracing life.

Amidst the chaos, I seek serenity, A sanctuary from the noise and frenzy, yearning for moments of undivided presence, absorbed in the beauty of mindful essence, away from the lures that tempt and sway, Avoiding the traps that lead me astray, Attentive to the path I choose to tread, aligned with my purpose, clear in my head, Adrift from distractions, I find my way, A focus restored, with each passing day.

Caught in the web of scattered thoughts, A mind entangled in a web of knots, clamoring for attention, distractions abound, calling me away from solid ground, compromising focus, pulling me astray, creating a barrier to seize the day, curbing productivity, hindering my aim, Challenging the will to stay in the game, conquering this challenge, my daily mission, casting aside the chaos, finding my vision, centering my mind, reclaiming control, cconquering distractions, reaching my goal.

Thoughts scattered like autumn leaves in the breeze, A mind divided, caught in a constant tease, Caught in the whirlwind of external demands, The lure of distractions tightening their bands, Reclaiming focus, a task I must undertake, investing in presence, for my own sake, Seeking the stillness amidst the chaos and noise, In the face of distractions, finding poise, Obliterating the barriers that hinder my way, Navigating the path with clarity each day.

In the depths of my mind, a battle is fought, Negotiating the pull of each tempting thought, Distracted I become, by whispers and calls, steering me away from important goals, trapped in the grip of allure and desire, reclaiming my focus becomes dire, acting on impulse, my focus fades, Caught in a cycle that perpetuates, Tranquility lost amidst the noise and strife, Indulging distractions, diminishing life, Onward I strive, to regain control, Navigating the chaos, body and soul.

Overflowing thoughts, a tumultuous stream, Drifting away from the present, it may seem, A whirlpool of distractions, pulling me astray, Caught in the currents, losing my way, time slips through my fingers, elusive and fast, reining in focus, a challenge to outlast, Acting as a magnet, drawing my attention, Captivated by diversions, seeking intervention, Taking a step back, finding inner calm, Ignoring the noise, like a soothing balm, Onward I tread, with purpose and devotion, Navigating the tides, reclaiming my notion.

Noises surround, pulling my mind away, A constant battle to find focus and stay, caught in the web of scattered thoughts, Trying to break free from distractions, I fought, Reentering my thoughts, I strive to regain, Attention and presence, from chaos unchained, Curbing the pull of diversions that tease, Taking control, finding inner peace, In the quest for clarity, I must be strong, Overcoming distractions, forging a path along, Navigating the challenges, to reach my destination.
