Your poem feels like someone sneaking in to gently tidy the chaos in my head — feather-light, but somehow bossy in the sweetest way. I swear the ‘sleep, sleep, sleep’ line almost had me tucking myself in like a scolded cat. This one hums with the kind of peace we forget we’re allowed~

Thank you! You know how I’m feeling and you show me the most gentle kindness. I appreciate you more than I can express.

I find myself saying it more often lately. Then I say ok brain this is not helpful let’s move on.

A beautiful personal mantra I'll have to copy. An overactive mind is a curse
