Hmm...the mind

The mind is a gift

but to me it's a curse

sometimes I can't make it stop spinning

and spinning and spinning

like a wheel on the loose

like a record player

sometimes I think of cracking my head open

pulling out my brain

and stomping on it like a cigarette butt

til it's burned out and embedded into the earth 

your mind feels pain

your soul will feel it too

where's the lever to shut it down?

have peace of mind

that expression is a load of s**t!

you can drink as many cups of tea

and meditate until you levitate

but nothing will keep your brain from annoying the hell out of you

it never stops

no matter how many times you yell at it to

it will never stop

it spins and spins

and turns and turns

and it's all we can do to not blow our brains out

A lot of the time i feel just like this. My brain an body don't match and it takes all my energy to not take my brains out. Totally 100/100. Great job

It's amazing! I've felt like this before and I can relate. Very honest, and I love the "Your mind feels pain, your soul feels it too, where's the lever to shut it down?" That line completely captures the essence of how I feel at the moment. Awesome job(: Oh and the last line is the funniest part. :)

i love the part about taking it out and stomping on it like a cigarette butt.
this poem is funny, passionate, and so true. It brings out a point in a way i would never be able to put into words. i love it.
