Emotions are visitors
They come
We treat them graciously
And they leave
There is reprieve
In time
If you can stay in the moment
I am a reactive person
I have to pause
And process
Before seeking a solution
There must be a fusion
Of emotions and logic
I have found it catastrophic
To plow ahead
Instead of
using my skills
And soothing myself
My thoughts get tangled
I get hooked on the wrong angle
Unhelpful perspectives
Leading me to dead ends
but paths can be traced & re travelled
Knots can be unravelled
DBT is the key in the lock
But it has to practiced
To the point that it becomes second nature
So when the skies darken
& storms arise
I can reach naturally and find
My wise mind.
