Mind over Matter


What can’t I possibly live without

Losing a great many of my things would make me pout.

But above all else something i’d need

Is my mind and imagination that allows me to be free

I need it because it makes me different

And without it I’d be ignorant

I’d become another face in the crowd

I’d have nothing special that would make me proud

And I’d be stuck in an eternal shroud

Having my imagination really gives me pride

And if i lose it I’d have much rather died
