What You Catch in Life are Your Routines

What is going on
Is your mind making you run in circles

You jump
When your mind tells you to jump

You fear
When your mind tells you to fear

You shut down
When the mind is afraid of the future

Your mind is one routine after another
And you find comfort in it

Every morning
The same

Every afternoon
The same

Every evening
The same

Every response
Ends up being the same

When you are stuck
When you feel done in life

You wake
Because you are supposed to wake

You are held down
You are trapped from your routines

You cannot get away
Is your routine

Being stuck and trapped
Is your routine

This keeps you safe
Safe from something new in the future

Where there is nothing new
There is what can be expected

What can be expected may not be rewarding
But at least there are no surprises

Life is dull
Because life is not being lived

Everything you want
Is silenced by the routines in your life

What bother
Becomes the excuse

You are everything in your life
You are the one that can free yourself

Free yourself
From your routines

Free yourself
From the routines of others

How long can you serve
When you are serving the mind of another

Life is very difficult
You try and try

And yet the routine of another
Keeps you trapped

Because you are in the same routine
You are running in circles too

Walk away
Walk away from the routine

Free yourself
Make the other respect you

You do not need their routines
You do not need their mind

You are living
Begin to live

You are breathing
Begin to consciously breathe

There is nothing that can stop the timeline
Living without fear fills your life with joy

Every step
Taken by your conscious self

Gives you everything
Allows you to see and feel everything

If you are tired
Rest

If you have energy
Find something new

Love your life
Your life is a gift

Enjoying every ending
Every ending is a new beginning

Enjoy every breath
Every breath is a gift
