The Mind

Born for awareness,
the mind spins stagnant
while thoughts
remain hidden 
with scabbed over pain.
The soul weeps
in darkness.

The mind is a mystery. It has great power. It can make you your own prisoner or it can set you free. Just depends on which way you let it wander. Good job heere. God Bless, JB
