Breathe through the Storm

Always busying myself...

Distracting myself...

From being with myself...

Go out with friends.

When they're unavailable,

hop on discord channels.

When the voice channels are barren,

flip over to YouTube.

Then, doom scroll through the shorts.

But, I'm telling you...

disconnect from the outside world.

Sit with yourself,

by yourself,

as the monks do...

Listen to the storm in you.

The winds whipping,

your gut, heart and brain,

wind chimes knotting together in the gales.

You must listen closely,

before you can untangle your inner workings.

Pause...

And breathe...

It's okay to do nothing.

Because, even when you're doing nothing,

you are doing something profound.

This is how you start

to quell the storm

and untangle the mess in you.
