Just Observe

Tangled in a web of thoughts, that desperately needs untying, 

I pull frenetically at loose ends, as it tightens I end up crying.

I need to be gentle and patient, as I move back and forth,

Let me loosen their grip on me, they won't bother me henceforth. 

 

Overpowered by heavy emotions, I'm crumbling under their weight,

They say not to fight your feelings, but for this moment to pass wait.

The more you push against it, the more you'll get pulled in the swamp,

It's better to accept where you're stuck, no matter how torrid or damp.

 

Caught in conflicting interactions, pulled into an email flame,

Triggered by the usual slighting, resorting to calling name.

Just observe your habitual patterns, as if detached and from above,

You'll realize where you have control, and where there's scope for love.  

You tell me to watch my behavior, that they are nothing but feelings and thoughts,

That they'll disappear in thin air, while the world continues to tie me up in knots.
