When Thoughts Become Obsession
Good Thoughts Bad Thoughts Anybody?
When you’re always thinking About someone or something That thought that you are thinking Becomes an obsession One that can take on wings of its own And fly by itself all the way to eternity When thought becomes obsession What does it do to you It makes you a prisoner Waiting and wanting release from it But not being able to Is that healthy for you? When thought becomes obsession What does it do for you It takes on wings of its own Flies first close to you Asks for permission to leave And carries itself all the way to the moon It flies really fast you see It can go and reach whoever it is meant to reach When thought becomes obsession It can take on wings and fly away All the way around the globe Reach the person who you’re thinking about And touch him or her and say ‘tag’ And then it will come back to you Just as quickly without being able to get captured and imprisoned by him or her So in essence the thought is free now Even has wings of its own But the thinker of the thought Remains imprisoned for life Until his thought takes on life And brings him what he desires Yes thoughts can do that That’s called manifestation And it does happen also So what thought are you carrying today Has it developed wings yet? What are you waiting for? Release it Then we will know Where it goes And then we will know No regrets Only silence And peace ✌🏽



A brilliant parsing!
I read this as a reflection on the strange life of our thoughts–how they can both free us and imprison us.
It made me wonder: maybe true release isn’t when the thought reaches its destination, but when we stop trying to control where it goes. 🤔
