What Holds Me Back

( a poem for the busy mind that won’t let you rest )

What holds me back?
But the thoughts in my head
The niggles
The worries
Hold me, hold me
But in a way that suffocates
Release me, mind, of my thoughts
Let me be, here, now, being
Not thinking
Thoughts, be gone, be gone
Leave nothing but stillness and serenity
