Smoke and Mirrors

Reading time: 1 min

He said: “You are not processing yourself, your emotions, or your thoughts.”

My friend added: “You sweep everything under the carpet. Process yourself. It is time to see yourself, not the others. Care for yourself, and everything will be okay.”

I looked inside my mind,

Too much smoke.

The carpet caught fire inside.

Too late, old friend.

I swept a flame under the carpet of thoughts.

How did not you notice the smoke,

As my burning words touched the paper?

“Thank you for reading these quiet thoughts.”
