Thought Control
What worries you, masters you.... Unknown
Familiar was the squawk of dawn's happy choir.
A cheerfulness so potently dire.
When daily suffering is inescapable
Anguish does not discriminate or label.
A man's belly, barren of bread, aches in pain.
An ache the same,
As the obsession to be desired by the vain.
To the blacksmith of thought, we are the tool.
The mastery of thought is the saving rule.

Aww. Thank you that's so nice to hear.
I felt it too myself.
Writing these types of poems is therapy for myself,
and I'm very happy to hear it resonated.

Thoughts have so much power. You can use it against yourself or in advance or yourself, I'm learning more and more how it impacts us. Great write, dear poetess.

Definitely thought provoking. I loved this. I've been thinking a lot lately about positive thinking, law of attraction, etc.

Focus on the moment. Thought can lead down a serious rabbit hole. Nice reminder to not get sucked in

Yeah I'm kinda stuck in that rabbit hole, so trying to remind myself.We suffer from our thoughts
about the suffering. Thanks, I like when people are aware of their thoughts.

Yeah, there is a LOT of worry in "mastering" thought. Good job of putting some philosophical disposition into perspective here. I feel as though you switched gears, and have confidence, at least in this piece. You're good at "mastering" a lot of induction, logic, and emotion. Thanks for sharing!

I've been reading a lot we are the product of our thoughts. Change your thoughts, change your perspective.
I believe in this. Some moments I'm confident I can do this, others not so much.
Thank you for your commentary, they help me, including with confidence.
