The Hammer

Negative thought rage war on my mind

No positive thinking here in this fractured brain

Like a hammer negative thoughts plague me

I hid so long from the hammer I lost strength

I cry out to you to correct my negative ways

Give me strength to stop the hammer

Give power to turn negative into positive

I will defeat the hammer on a daily basis

The hammer will not run me down I will not let it

I let the hammer beat me down for so long

Now I vow to stop the hammer’s negative thoughts
