Relentless Force
My mind is a relentless force, fighting all the battles of life,
the things it has made me do, when I wanted to do was curl up and die.
Constantly under attack, it has never wilted with time,
the only part of me unbroken and the only thing that kept me alive.
It sheltered me as a child, when things got really rough,
giving me a place to train, making me mentally tough.
The journey's I had in store, neither of us could have seen,
my mind and I became the best friends, but my mind was really mean.
It pushed me beyond my limits, most times more than I could bare,
constantly nagging me, telling me there was nothing to fear.
It taught me how to learn, if I just opened up my eye"s,
finding understanding, understanding the reasons why.
My mind is a relentless force, it gave me the courage to change,
who I was, to who I am now are now no longer the same.
