Not Every Thought Is True

Sometimes it makes you believe made up is real it’s not.

Not Every Thought Is True

Some days the mind

whispers too much,

turning small worries

into heavy storms.

It tells you things,

quiet but sharp,

as if every fear

is carved in stone.

But pause a moment,

breathe a little,

let the noise

slow itself down.

Thoughts can lie,

even the loud ones,

even the ones

that feel like truth.

The heart knows more,

than the mind admits,

it holds the calm

the mind forgets.

So stand with yourself,

be gentle inside,

not every dark whisper

belongs to you.

And when doubt rises,

let it pass through,

like a cloud

moving away from light.

You are still here,

stronger than fear,

and softer thoughts

will find you again.

    I have lots of those, and I try my best to keep them locked away, some days they escape. Very true words.

    This is the reason we need to take time and really listen to ourselves and others. Good job.

    This is so calming, such a beautiful reminder.

    that's so true. there have been times when I imagined the worse only to find things were not as bleak as I thought. My problem is that I often forget to turn off my brain. I'm practicing on learning to steer it in a different direction once the weird thoughts try to invade.
