Not every thought

Deserves to be entertained,
Catered to,
Given access to the throne
Of our minds.
Not every thought we have
Represents who we really are.
The human mind is a curious place
Often the battleground
For vicious opponents,
Warring schools of thought
All in one head.
Our hunches
Need to be tested
Before they become convictions,
And our wandering minds
Need to be reigned in
With deep thought meditation
Lest we lose them altogether.
Not every thought
Is true,
Worth saying out loud
Or worth holding on to-
In the end it is not the thoughts
That enter our minds
That will matter most,
Its the ones
That never leave.
