What about the mind?

(A poem inspired by Janet Jackson song titles)

In the Rhythm Nation, we strive,
Yet sometimes we feel Like a Friend—not alive.
That’s the Way Love Goes, but pain takes its toll,
Sometimes it’s hard to Control this heavy soul.

If you’re feeling low, just Let’s Wait Awhile,
There’s strength in the silence, a quiet smile.
Escapade from the noise, find your own space,
In this journey, remember, it’s okay to embrace.

You are not alone, Together Again,
In The Pleasure Principle, we can begin.
So Runaway from stigma, let your truth shine,
In this Nasty world, it’s your heart that’s divine.

What About the tears that we hold inside?
Any Time, Any Place, we need to confide.
With love and support, we can break through the dark,
Embrace your emotions, let them leave a mark.
