The human mind, a total mystery
So chaotic yet peaceful, so ugly yet beautiful
An instrument of deep thoughts, evil strategem and the purest of healings, it depends on how you wield it.
in it the potential to wither lives or make them bloom. To curse a nation or bless it. To build an ally or create woes. To heal and liberate a soul or poison and imprison.
"Your mind is full of possiblities", Mom said
"What possibilities?" "Endless positivities or negativities?" I'm scared to find out.
Alone in my thoughts so deep and dark
Trying to learn better how unlock the light in me and not the darkness, the struggle.
"Fight it!" "Don't concede. Fight back", voices in my head roar, chants of encouragement to a weary and almost worn out me.
But someone I find not just strength in their words, but also hope, and light, and a little steer to the right direction.
And now I feel much lighter, and stronger, and determined to fight this battle to the very end.
"I see fire in your eyes. Survival gone beautiful", Mom said. "The mind is full of possibilities, endless positivities" I replied.
And we both smiled.
