Distractions <br />~ <br />I seek to distract myself <br />So thoughts will not be forgotten <br />More kept elsewhere for a while <br />Have them otherwise entertained <br />A busy mind has no time to idle <br />To wander about the what ifs and whys <br />Those fruitless agonies considered <br />In the dull silences and quiet hours <br />It’s a duel of attention, distraction <br />When strong thoughts resist my ignorance <br />A book becomes a struggle <br />While the wayward mind wanders still <br />Thoughts resist to be kept at bay <br />However I seek to distract myself <br />To leave certain thoughts for a while <br />That I may rest my soul<br /><br />Matthew Holloway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/distractions-9/
