I Mind
I do not think my mind
Is like he used to be;
He used to chat with me;
Contradict and chide me;
Play cunning wit, puzzle,
Chuckle with, amuse me.
But now he's darker;
He hides things from me;
No longer open,
Like he used to be.
When he speaks to me;
Commands me simply,
To do such actions,
I am loath to do.
I cannot fight him;
He is stronger still,
Then ever he did used to be;
By some bold force,
Which powers him,
Quite overthrows
My weak body;
The pact he had,
With self-control,
That part of him,
I used to know,
No longer is
