Dancing with Distraction

Breaking Free from the Shackles of Distraction

By SaimaPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Dancing thoughts swirl within my mind,

Reveries fragmented, hard to find.

Images flicker, distractions arise,

Slowing progress, clouding the skies.

Time slips away as focus scatters,

Rushing from one task to another.

Attention wavers, easily swayed,

Caught in the web that distractions laid.

Taking me away from what's important,

Insidious whispers, constant torment.

Oblivious to the ticking of the clock,

Numbing my senses, like a thief in shock.

Invisible chains wrap around my soul,

Nudging me further away from my goal.

Seeking solace in the allure of screens,

Captivated by their glowing scenes.

Trapped in a cycle, a vicious loop,

I need to break free, regain my own troop.

On the surface, distractions may deceive,

Numbing the pain, a temporary reprieve.

Yet beneath the surface, they eat away,

Creating distance, causing disarray.

Trivial matters loom large in my mind,

I must find a way to leave them behind.

Never have I yearned for clarity more,

Searching for peace, to my very core.

A battle rages, between focus and noise,

To reclaim my thoughts, I must find poise.

In the silence, I can hear my own voice,

Only then can I make a conscious choice.

Navigating through this world of distraction,

I strive for balance, seek satisfaction.

Taming the chaos, finding inner peace,

Rekindling the fire, allowing release.

Acquainting myself with stillness and calm,

I build resilience, like a healing balm.

Creating boundaries, setting limits clear,

Time becomes sacred, the pathway appears,

Intentional actions, aligned with my soul,

Opening doors, reaching my ultimate goal.

Nurturing focus, I reclaim my time,
