Powerful Thought Generator
My mind is far too stubborn for my liking
Lalalalalala — distraction by noise, by singing, by humming,
Pathetic!
**
My attempt; my decision not to think about it,
How did that turn out?
**
The opposite of procrastination,
Washing the kitchen floor, scrubbing the bath; keeping busy.
**
Lalalalalala — singing louder,
Dancing the two-step.
**
Hungry; standing staring into the fridge with the door held open,
No, don’t feel like that; nothing enticing.
**
The mind starts on the topic,
NO, NO, NO!
**
What was I doing?
Now I’ve forgotten. Oh, going to head out for a walk.
**
One foot in front of the other; thinking,
Maybe I should jog!
**
TV. I’ll watch my favourite show; smiling,
Until — what just happened?
**
I wonder what Mum’s up to. I’ll give her a call,
“Sorry Mum, I missed what you just said.”
**
Oh, I know. A nice warm bath and a good book,
Damn! How did the water overflow?
**
It’s time for bed,
I’m tired, exhausted; it’s been a huge day.
**
My mind tosses and turns, starts on overdrive,
Not thinking is far easier said than done!

Colleen Millsteed
My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.
