I must learn to quiet my mind
So that some peace I might find
My mind is racing – It does not stop
I slept too early, now thoughts do pop
They come into my head with worry and regret
I have to hurry up because it feels like a bet
I need to get better, and do it oh so fast
Because time is a ‘tickin, and work will still last
It’s there moving on, and continuing without me;
I feel such great angst – Certainly I do see.
I need some quiet now in the days of my respite
But it’s hard to keep my mind quiet;
I think I can, but not quite
I must learn to quiet my mind
So that some peace I might find
