When she sent this to me a few days ago, Patricia was not sure of whether or not she liked it and wondered if it might appear to be a "bit preachy"...but I think it's great. - poetheart 04/26/02
Stop the persistent tapping
The internal gnawing
All the tricky mind games
The wallowing and crawling!
Stop the weighty thoughts
The mindless wringing hands
The strange and vacant stares
That no one understands!
Stop the constant rumination
Self centered consolation
Drop the damn damnation
Stop seeking adoration!
Start by explaining feelings
Planning futures, Reaching out,
Promising and Doing
Believing without a doubt.
Exemplifying ideals
Not denying what one feels
Start trying, trying, trying,
Save your soul from dying!
(AH!
Wouldn't it be nice?
HA!
If I could take my own advice?)by Patricia Lynn
