Cheers

I should thank my conscious mind For I unravel on a regular basis My sub conscious just too brazen and trouble fueling, no ability to know anything about boundaries, always wishing to push me out of my comfort zone to keep me stimulated My conscious mind presses the reset button, advises me 4 potato cakes and a cup of tea will steer me back Whilst potato cakes do actually give me stomach ache, I've dutifully eaten them and have stopped getting unravelled The meditation of lifting the tea and taking a sip working to quiet my strange yearning and questioning brain My all or nothing dance of whether I'm authentic or a socially acceptable self loathing entity I'm just glancing round the room, there's a thing that has 'cheers' written on it. "Cheers" conscious mind (you can't tell, as this is written down but there's a mildly sarcastic tone implied)

Excellent self analytical piece, It’s all about context isn’t it Dilly, we mostly interpret our lives through our moods, sometimes interjections even written down ones like cheers can indeed seem ironically sarcastic, but this one isn’t I promise, (cheers) David

Thanks David, just thought I'd record a passing thought. I usually have a downer on my sensible side but perhaps it has its place
