a poem to help people relax
Close your eyes
Let your imagination run wild
Dream about the unthinkable
Think about your goals
What you want to do…
Where you want to be…
Who you want to be…

Close your eyes
What do you see?
Mistakes of the past…
Joyful times of the present…
Mystical ideas of the future…
Thinking
Dreaming
Idealistic point of view
About what was, is, and will be

Open your eyes
Back to reality
Wondering how long you were gone
Gone far, far beyond
Letting your thoughts
Your imagination
Take you to the unknown
A land only for you
A peaceful place

Open your eyes
Reality and truth
Imagination and lies
Pull away from each other
Working towards goals
Realistic ones
Not those farfetched ideas
Of a perfect land
One with a mystical paradise
Where everyone is equal

Close your eyes
Set yourself in a time
Past, present, or future
Where you are comfortable
Relax
Let your thoughts stop
Clear your mind
Meditate
Let nature take control
Just listen
Listen to nature
To the rustling of leaves
Chirping of birds
Waves crashing upon the beach
Just let the sounds control your mind
Think about nothing else
Lose yourself in your surroundings

Open your eyes
What do you see?
Is it what you want to see?
Or do you want your life to change?
Give yourself another chance
To live a different life
One not conventional
Farther from normality
Not drawing attention to yourself
