Distractions

It’s so difficult living in a world

Full of millions of distractions 

They try to make it impossible 

For us to turn inward and grow

We get sucked into addictions 

To these material objects 

As these bad habits 

Soon become daily routines

Waking up and checking your phone

Scrolling on social media

All of these things that distract you 

from the present moment 

And fill your mind with negativity 

May we learn to not cave into these distractions 

But learn to use them instead as tools

May we move away from the material world

And take the time to turn inward and grow

To sit in stillness with ourselves 

No distractions present 

You must sit with yourself 

Even the negative parts 

Which you were trying to distract yourself from

How will you even grow

If you never learn to fully feel them out

And finally completely let them go
