Do you know how I feel? I want it to stop, leave me alone. Please, please go away, why do you have to come? Why do you have to invade my mind and intrude? This is so hard, so tough! I am going out of my mind when intrusive thoughts set in, like wheels spinning round and round non-stop, incessantly. Thoughts of human behavior, harmful behavior causing harm, havoc, pain. I don’t have the answers to people’s sufferings, to the unfairness in the world. The truth is I struggle with intrusive thoughts, involuntary thoughts that mindfulness, stillness, inner calm, prayers cannot control at all. I feel helpless, screaming in silence, while letting the thoughts spin and finally pass.

It seems you let things affect you greatly. I hope you learn to relax and let some of your feelings go. My husband is this way too. May you find peace in this crazy world.

Thank you for reading. Relax? What is that word? That is so so hard for me to do. I could only relax when I'm dancing and reading books or articles. Ahh... dancing put me in a trance, feeling free and reading transports me everywhere and let me imagine the characters go about their roles, like in the movies. Thanks again.

Hello, Sara! Thank you for visiting. My poems are usually about life, life issues, my experiences and they are not coated with superior, elaborate words, just words that speak to everyday people. Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks so much, Victor. I don't know when we can have World Peace, some leaders are just in to power, power to occupy and invade and some are just for revenge, an eye for an eye, no matter how innocent people die, struggle or left for nothing. I just feel for them. Blessings.
