The Prisoner

“I” is just a concept made by mind. Siddhartha Gautama Mind has to dwell in a coerced seclusion: mind is a prisoner of the conclusion that mind is mine. I share your letdown, my mind. Minds cannot shatter the illusion of the first person singular pronoun. 5/6/2019 Writing Challenge 3, August 2019- Five Lines- Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode
