My Mind

My Mind tricks me into believing 
I’m not as good as I am.
But I don’t mind.
I’m one step ahead.
Trying to aspire to what I can.
My Mind pushes me, yells at me,
And at times drives me insane.
But I don’t mind.
It makes me strive to be better.
My Mind isn’t perfect but she tries to teach me.
She’s always there.
Life is a journey my Mind and I are on.
For good and for bad 
She’s my best friend.
