Mind

Mind, my mind, your mind, whose mind
am I trying to grope it
mind my mind where did it go
mind your mind why doesn't it let me
empty this emptiness shrouds my awareness
its preying on my misery, i don't want to succumb
mind my mind I question my sanctity
you its you whose robbed me of it
or is it you yes sir you standing there judging me
shadows yes I see shadows walking in the dark stairways of my mind


struggle, I struggle with keeping my mind calm
rouses, why does it get so roused
is it you ,yes you who took away my peace
me or is it me who doesn't give it a rest.

mind your mind what are you thinking about me
cringe, I cringe thinking of all the things you would say
absurd, is what I define myself at times
time, my mind is eluding it away

stir, feelings stir
heady,

in the throes of vulnerability,
i feel the will ebbing away
i look in the deep whirlpool of emotions
the mess that it leaves behind\
robs me of my peace
robs me of sanctity
and i feel exhuasted
i look for an outlet, a saviuor
who pulss me from this abyss
but ive been waiting for too long
and the will is ebbing away

the woods have been barren for too long
the leaves have left  their branches
i can't find my way back home
i seem to have lost my way back to myself

every time you pull yourself back up
you think thats the last time
life has you fooled that there are endless possibilities
that you fall only once
that theres something to be looked forward to
but till when can you wait

trap ,trap is what you do to hide from the world



i want to follow the ifs and the buts
lie on my back and frivolously dream
of a time yet to come and a person yet to be...

its where the moist wind and the cloudes, the horizon and the sunshine merge
its when my soul is freed from bodily restrictions
where energies collide and give rise to wistfulness

I want to stand under the sky and feel my insignificance
i want to look the ocean in the eye and feel myself shrink
ist like we complicate it much.
circle uncircle the possibilities in my head

Count all the stars that light up the night sky
not worry about the sun about to rise
wallow in the space that i occupy
scribble mess up the tidy sands on the beach
unmake my hair and let them flow with the breeze
is this what happiness is to me?

whisper into the emptiness of the night sky
listen to the breeze take me words away
far into the empty horizon that the sun has to fill
stuck in the continuum between being heard and unheard

dream about places yet to see
have conversations with people yet to meet
travel through the 40s straight to the 90s
