Solitary Confinement of the Mind

Some florettes

To unwind, lonesome soul,
Be kind, achieve your goals.

Now calm down, panicked mind,
look around, peace you'll find.

Breathe deeply, anxious one
Speak sweetly, til you're done.

I like the different forms you use. I have been trying out a bunch of poetic forms so I may look into some of the ones you have used.

I like the flow and internal rhymes.

“Be kind, achieve your goals” was my favorite line. I love how you paired both of these ideas together in one line to (at least as I have derived) suggest them as one idea all together. I like the concept and your word choice of “lonesome soul”, “panicked mind” and “anxious one”.

I enjoyed reading!

Yes, I paired the "be kind, achieve your goals" together specifically. It's very easy to let your fixation on achieving goals interfere with how we interact with people. I've always believed loving others should be a primary goal, although I'm not perfect at it. Also, followed your instagram :-)
