My head is full

My head is full

I’ve no more space

There’s nothing more

To put in that place

Yet I must help

reduce its burden

To keep my mind

From too much hurtin’

Working on

How to shrink

The heavy thoughts

That I think

Not to diminish

Their import

But instead

To report

To my body

We’ll come through

For survival

It’s what we do

We meditate

Use yogic poses

Take deep breaths

Smelling roses

We must always

Practice self-care

Be more mindful

Not less aware
