Finding An Escape Route Is a Grey Matter

The mind is an amazing thing it's a storehouse of much data but you can control what gets in there if it's empty you couldn't have a chatter But it's not empty that's for sure filled with effects of life's marks my mind for sure has been altered physiologically caused some little cracks All of life a stammer has mostly ruled as my mind gace into to its hints it's told me 'you can't say that' believed it I did having me fooled It's a life long journey in your mind changing attitudes and mental effects the road is slow round many bends living in hope straightening my defects This key to my peison mind turns slowly learn never give up keep turning it round remember where I once was to where now the door of escape will truly be found (This is written based on a anonymous quote "The hardest prison to escape is in our own mind." )

Gordon, you have clearly dug deep for this write, exploring places in the mind and soul that beg for explanation and clarity. I believe that writing about these explorations helps the cause, and gives us a focus. Sharing takes courage and I commend you for that. If only there were "reset" buttons to undo past damage, or "off" buttons to help us fall asleep at night. But you are 100% correct in saying the mind is an amazing thing. God made it that way. Blessings, brother ~ John
