Compartmentalisation

Corrupt my thoughts, place out of sight Onwards I march without troubles March march march, it's all fine Panic as it turns out it's not fine at all Attempt to push out thoughts that upset Retreat as far as I can from past events Treat thoughts as surplus to requirements Make them squish as small as I can Entangled, surely not, they were all boxed up Now what do I do when jumped out at me Turn around thoughts, leave me alone Allowances were made but you've done me in Leave immediately or hide in plain sight I will ignore you Since you are here, let's chat Although you hide you have something to say Tell me if it helps I don't understand why I hid, that's not so bad Only facing your problems really works Now to get on with living

Thanks Michelle - I love an acrostic. It's a bit like writing poetry on a treadmill :)
