Minds Beginning
Oh what mind I have?
Such imagination with a bit of creation
All in one location but
I can’t tell because of the translation
So I guess you’re just stuck with realization
The realization of what I can and cannot do
The realization of what I need and do not need
The realization of what must and mustn’t be done
The realization of what I have become…
Because of what I become wasn’t always this way
At first he was a boy seeing the world
Closing his eyes and for one blink
He saw that his life just changed
His legs became longer
His arms became stronger
His mind became wiser, but
His heart became weaker
The boy that was once the quiet kid,
Full of mind
Became the fungi that everyone loved,
Who felt behind
The one guy that just wanted to burst
Shouting all that he could feel
Just make him scream and shout
But would anyone listen?
Would anyone pay attention?
No,
Because everyone’s too cheap for me
In a thrift store with a sign out front saying:
“Clearance”
I was that one thing left behind
Everyone choosing what they thought was cool and neat
Something with I can’t compete
Something that was better than me
But then again
What isn’t?
The white crayon is more useful than me
The “terms and conditions” have been seen more that me
The first piece of bread is used for at least sometimes
And it’s always more that me
One thought after another
That I’m useless
That I’m hopeless
That people should care less,
Or...
That I could clear my blindness
And make my mind a new beginning
Things don’t have to be the way my mind puts them in
They just have to be where I want them to begin
