The mind, That mind

The mind. That mind!

The mind that thinks,

Where to from here?
The mind that wonders,
What ever happened?

Rolling in words that don’t make sense,

Producing thoughts that should save you
The mind that never sleeps,
Every molecule has its own purpose
When it’s time to serve the body,
It will paralyze you

The mind that blanks out,

When one needs it the most
The mind that not only sees the light through,
It gets you through the darkness even when it’s too heavy
The mind, that mind

It might not function well and gets you labelled,

It proves its power that goes beyond
The mind that will have people turn against you,
What you think, say and do will be a reflection

When did it matter?

Right when you start using it
When did it focus?
Right when you had a plan
The mind that loses itself in its own self,
The internal self-battle we hardly win

Will it wonder?

As it only does that when not directed well
Will it think well?
When you let it and give it time
The mind that will run faster than your mouth,
Be careful of it all, think

The mind that will bring sanity when not wasted

It will bring you inner peace that you always need
The mind that I know and believe
Well I will also trust, at times
The mind that never dies, metaphorically
It has been programmed systematically

That mind we all have,

Though more fail to put it to good use
That requires composure
The mind, that mind…
