Sitting within your negative thoughts

Wishing you were happy 

Or wishing you were in another moment

Will never do you any good

For all we truly have is the now

All we truly have is this present moment

You will waste your whole life away 

Wishing to be in any other moment 

Than the one you are currently in

You may go through hard times 

But wishing you were happy 

Will never help you my love

For you must fully be present

Even in these difficult times

Fully feel out your emotions

And fully accept them for what they are

So then you can finally let them go 

And move on peacefully 

To the next present moment

 

When you don’t accept your emotions

You subconsciously hold onto them

Longer than you would 

If you were fully present with them 

It makes it more difficult to let them go

You end up feeling stuck

In these negative emotions 

Keep trying to distract yourself

Until the pain disappears

But that’s the thing with emotions

They will always be inside of you

Until you let them out

And they can’t be let out 

Until you fully feel and accept them

For what they are 

Distractions will only push these 

Emotions deeper with in

 

So instead of distractions 

Turn inward

Cry if you need to

Tell if you need to

Do anything that you need to do

As long as you are fully 

feeling out this emotion

Ride it like a roller coaster 

See where it takes you 

Don’t try and stop it half way

All that will end up doing 

Is making you stuck

So just accept it 

And flow with it 

No distractions just you and that emotion

Then once you feel ready

Try and journal out your feelings

Let it all out 

Let your emotions just flood into the pages

Then flip to the next page

A new blank page

Ready for the next chapter of your story

A new beginning
