Diving Into Thoughts

Written by Malvisha Shah

Sometimes I sit and close my eyes,
And dive into my mind’s wide skies.
Like sinking deep beneath a sea,
Where thoughts swim wild and quietly.

At first, it’s calm—I float and see
Small questions rise and drift to me:
“Why did I say that?” “Was I right?”
These thoughts just flicker, soft and light.

Then deeper still, I start to roam,
Through memories I call my own.
Old feelings knock, they come and go,
Like waves that pull me far below.

My mind jumps fast from here to there,
From “what if” dreams to “why” and “where.”
One moment clear, the next unsure—
But every turn helps me explore.

Sometimes it’s stormy, full of doubt,
And I just want to find a way out.
But if I stay and look around,
There’s something quiet to be found.

I start to see the “me” I hide,
The one that lives so deep inside.
Each thought, each fear, each dream I chase
Shows me a little of my face.

So though it’s strange and sometimes tough,
This journey inward is enough.
For diving deep, through dark and light,
Helps me know myself just right.
