Clothes hangers representing my thoughts.
What will I wear today?
I open my thought closet.
An abundance of clothes hangers staring me in the face.
I haven't looked at them in a while.
It's an organized mess.
I look from afar,
And reach for a hanger.
It says
"You're a burden".
I toss it into the dirty laundry,
My anxious brain;
The machine,
On spin cycle.
I take down another metaphorical clothes hanger.
This one reads
"You've done something wrong".
I don't feel like wearing it today;
Into the dirty laundry it goes.
My anxious brain;
The machine,
Is on spin cycle.
I sort through my thought closet
Until something catches my eye.
A hanger
Which says
"You're okay".
I think I'll wear this today.
I take it out
And close my thought closet.
My anxious brain,
Asleep
