Be still
Young racing mind.
Racing inside your head,
Ideas cluttered
In drawers and under the bed;
Hopes, dreams and plans
In a rumpled, crumpled
Tangle of emotions.
Rushing and racing;
Struggling to unravel the maze.
See through the haze
To find your brilliance;
To find yourself.
Be still,
For a moment.
Be still.
Feel the quiet;
Hear your thoughts;
Let them flow quietly.
Take time for yourself.
Let your feelings
Wrap around you;
Let them still your racing mind
And free your thoughts and ideas
To draw the map
To find yourself.
