 Pay Attention
      I can’t
I’m trying
      But it’s hard when your thoughts
Are destroying all positivity

    Tap
Tap, tap, I can’t stop tapping
      It’s the only thing distracting me
From the feeling of being stuck in this rut

    Slow down
I can’t.
      The words escape my mouth like a race that

    Has no winner

    Don’t think about it
       I can’t
It’s not that easy
       You can’t just block thoughts
Get over thoughts
       It’s not a hurdle
It’s a parasite
       That’s embedded in your brain
Get over it
       Get over it
    We can’t
.
