MY MIND A negative thought came to my mind. He wore a charming smile And I was sorely tempted to invite him in awhile. And as I hesitated, He tapped softly on the door And whispered through the keyhole As he'd often done before. He said, "I'll help you hold your grudge, I'll help you sing the blues, It seems like all your folks and friends have turned their backs on you." He said, "You've been misunderstood, Mistreated and maligned. I'll help you cry your heart out If you'll let me come inside" But, I kept my windows fastened And my doors securely closed, For I knew I'd be the loser If I let him take control For negative thoughts can multiply And crowd the positives out And make the mind a cesspool Of anxiety and doubt. And so I told the negative thought I could not let him in. He went his way, but I am sure That he'll return again. But no more will I greet him With a welcome or a smile And never will I entertain him Even for awhile. I'll fill my mind with positive thoughts And on the door install a sign which reads, "DO NOT DISTURB" when negative comes to call For tho' he knocks a thousand times And yet, a thousand more He cannot dominate my mind If I don't open the door.
