The Door to My Mind

In the past few days,

I was so puzzled in my mind.

It felt like a heaviness

Clinging to me all the time.

I could not say

What was bothering me at the time?

Then I felt —

I really needed whatever to go inside,

To see what was not right.

It seemed like my mind

Was wandering to another side.

Even after trying

To pull it back to myself,

I felt an urge to write.

That’s when I stumbled upon an article —

How to become mindful during troubled times.

My first question was:

Why does this happen to me all the time?

How can I find my way out?

For I have been lost under the clouds many times.

Then it hit me —

What I was looking for outside,

I just needed to step inside.

I realized —

I did not need to force my mind,

But I just needed

To sit beside it quietly.

Because there was an urge

To listen quietly —

Through the stories,

Through the thoughts,

Through the emotions.

That’s how I found a door

To step inside my mind,

To uncover

What truly matters to me.

In that quiet space,

I learned how to be mindful —

Not by roaming,

But by simply sitting

With my thoughts.
