Hold That Thought

Hold that thought

That one right there

And that one

And that one

And all of those

Hold all those thoughts

Tie a string to each one and wind the strings tightly around your fingers so they don't fly away

Cling onto them for dear life

Squeeze them in your closed fists, so tightly that they begin to cut into your palms

Hide them away out of sight

so that no one can snatch them away from you

But don't be scared to cut them loose

when they no longer serve you
