Sometimes the sharpest minds
can become prisoners
to their thoughts.

Becoming empty hallways
filled with the hollow echoes
of doubt and regret.

A lonely place with
unmarked doors that
make it seem inescapable.

It isn’t until we realize that
we’ve created this space so
we know how to exit back
into a place of peace.

The doors are unmarked
because we already have
the key to unlock each one.

It feels lonely because
we haven’t let anyone in.

Our thoughts were never
intended to hold us captive.

Our thoughts should be
the balance that allows
our minds to be free.
