Poetry: Negative Thoughts and Longevity

Hourglass skull | negative thoughts
Daily writing prompt
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

Negative thoughts are cyclical,
Rotating endlessly, elliptical.
trapped in endless futility.

When captured in bleakness,
overwhelming weakness,
no chance for tranquility.

The light that relieves negativity
comes from reflecting activity
thinking about ways to do better.

As humans, we are fallible
personally, inherently valuable.
more than a spiritual dead letter.
