Mind Over Matter
I nearly lost my mind today,
But I turned in time to prevent its escape…
But as I grasped it, to secure its flight…
My mind fought my hands,
With scratches and bites…
Yet perseverance and determination,
They stayed my grip…
And on to the flesh of my mind,
My tears began to drip…
Lo and behold my fear lost its prevalence…
I succumbed to my decadence…
And I met my future with timid steps…
My feet in tune with life’s rolling cadence…
Yet a miss-step, a fumble, or a slump,
Will land me in a conundrum…
And what will befall me then?
If I trap my mind once again?
And feel it sink its proverbial teeth to the bone…
And convince my sanity that it is not alone…
But grope for all I can,
To prove who I am…
But remain unsure...
And again I question what will be,
And make my mind take a knee…
So that we can meet these miles with confidence,
To show the world,
Our radiance…
