Navigating a Mind

It takes a self to figure
Takes a mind to navigate
To have pride less bolder
In bewilderment to never negate

Time is a forever giveaway
Promising half-truths and half chance
A nightcap from a receiving day
Have you a heart’s desire for wants?

A will to come from strength drawn
Have I the withdrawal to wander into?
A path chosen to start believing from
Have I the question if I knew?

Some days I am sad, others sadder only
Perhaps I’m more glad when I’m just sad
Touching a feel to have touch only barely
To times I have or perhaps have had

And into my mind I can only dwell
Priding myself in endless navigation
To the finding times founded I fell
I negate away that of awe to be left in bewilderment
