Trapped by Thoughts

An eaglet raised with barnyard birds will never soar to towering heights. Though armed with wings designed for flight It will never reach soaring height. Thoughts are like wings designed to soar They’re active every waking blink. But how you choose to use your wings can help you cope with what life brings. So many souls are trapped by thoughts Of worthlessness and “Never will.” The hurtful words that they were told like prison bars, their thoughts still hold. Sad thoughts trap those who are depressed, these thoughts like weights, press on their chest. Dark thoughts like clouds hanging so low, seem bent on snuffing out life’s glow. Self-centered thoughts ensnare the vain and bind them with a galling chain. These selfish thoughts leave ugly scars and traps the soul within their bars. When men with minds greedy for gain and thoughts of wealth possess their brain, many do things that are insane to satisfy their thirst for gain. If you do not control your thoughts they will one day bind you with knots. Let noble thoughts your mind adore and they will make your spirit soar.
