In My Own Mind

A bud was placed into my mind My skull supports a seed And from this seed, I’ll have a thought That I will soon be free. I will break the shield holding me, sprout small stems of honesty Look for help from other things, but finally find my sanity. A bud was placed into my mind My thoughts support a voice And from this voice I’ll have a yearn To learn to make a choice. I’ll begin to think critically, wonder about the world around me Question whether reality is as put together as it should be. A bud was placed into my mind A voice supports my heart And from this heart compassion flows Through life and all its faults. And from these faults, I’ll help some grow and learn the ways of man. Help them know who they should trust and when to make a plan. I’ll teach them things like how to love And how to nurture too, And how young girls can protect their heart From reckless, “I Love You’s”. And maybe one day one girl will find, That her mind supports a thought And from this thought she will see That she has the courage to be free.
