My Master

Describes how the mind can overtake us.

My own thoughts which I can never escape

I attempt to ignore them

But they see me as bait

They follow me and consume me

All I want is to be free

But to my mind I am a slave

 

I would like all thoughts to leave me

No confusion, no puzzles

But my mind won’t let me be

When I sleep it wraps its fingers around my very soul

As if without it I wouldn’t be whole

From my mind I cannot flee

 

Does my mind have a mind?

As it seems to disagree with everything in my heart

Making me feel blind

It guides me but then leaves me with doubts

It opens up and everything comes in when I want them to get out

I can never seem to leave my mind behind.

 

It lingers and waits as I try to sleep

It whispers the unanswered questions

And memories I’d rather not keep

My mind is my future, present, and past

It’s a key to opportunities but a binding on my chest

My mind is vast and deep

 

I'm a slave to my mind, the thoughts in my brain

It’s a maze and infinite

A place filled with imagination

Once your mind clears, and the clouds go away

You will be surrounded with peace but only a few days

Because the mind can put you through so much pain

And if you let it control you, it’ll drive you insane

All the bad memories, oh where to begin?

It’ll pounce on you, and leave you in vain

Your mind is an enemy, but can you make it your friend?

Really nice piece, you ask some really good questions, I know this feeling you have,
all to well. Does my mind have a mind? I think so, but I have been able to maintain
it through spiritual guidance, I pray you will find your relief,
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Satan]

You most certainly can make it your friend.
