They push and pull,
And compete for a spot in my overly stuffed mind.
They sneak in at night,
and during that afternoon meeting.
Suddenly showing up at the least opportune time.
But they are all interchangeable.
Just naming my poison.
They draw me away from the matters that matter the most.
Waking up with head full of these things,
and ending the nights dreading more and more.
Constantly stuffing an already full mind full of things,
Things that have little substance and little fulfillment.
What will it be today, oh mind, lover of interchangeable things?
Will it be body image or family struggles?
Public perception or self worth?
Oh mind, will you struggle with your relationships or tasks or job?
Which interchangeable thing today will draw you way,
Away from what matters and drawn into where it does not need go?
If it is not one thing it is another, it does not matter which,
They all take you away from the most meaningful things.
These interchangeable things.
