What’s in your head right now?
What are you thinking about?
Is it good?
Is it bad?
Does it make you feel sad?
Does it bring about hope?
Or a bitter expression?
Is it something sating your obsession?
Is it causing you to spiral?
Or making you smile?
Whatever the thought
It can make or break the day
It could be something to make you go astray
Astray from the now
Astray from all meaning
Astray from the world if there’s no intervening
Whatever the thought
Or things you might think
Don’t let them take you straight to the brink
The brink of depression
The brink of all rage
The brink of the shadows that shove you in a cage
Take hold the thought
Seize the negative
And remember where your faith is
The power to choose is all up to you
Whether hope or despair
Or a wayward prayer
Take a moment
Just a moment
To ponder your think
And don’t let your thoughts make you sink
So, I will ask with softened brow
What are you thinking of right now?
