Mantracycle
First I tried to quiet
the internal monologue
and it quieted
a little bit
but then that other
internal monologue,
softer,
was like,
hey, we’re thinking
we have
an internal monologue
even though we’re trying
hard not to have one
And even though
the first one is quieter,
we’re still thinking
it’s quieter
I tried mantra
louder,
softer,
echoing
but the internal monologue
was still noting
the mantra was only helping
quiet it,
that I was still listening
to internal monologue
And then my monologue
took over
and recreated the mantra
to be about
the internal monologue
Then that other
internal monologue
softer
was like,
hey, you’re still listening
to internal monologue
And then it got louder,
like,
hey, yeah,
you thought you could stop
internal monologue?
hey, hey,
here we are
you’re not gonna let go of us
we’re your internal monologue
we hear everything
we watch everything
we know every little beat
and we are not going
to stop watching
speaking or noting,
we’re gonna keep on telling you
all about that internal monologue
Yeah, go ahead
and try that mantra
Namaha…
Namaha…
Namaha…
Notice as you try to watch the mantra.
This is your internal dialogue.
Notice as you watch the mantra.
Namaha, namaha, namaha.
Notice how you’re watching the mantra.
Namaha, it’s your internal dialogue.
Namaha, this is still your internal dialogue.
I’m watching.
Namaha, namaha, namaha.
And I’ll never stop watching.
Namahaaaaaaaaaa…
