True Mind

What would I call myself?

Judgemental?

Selfish?

Cruel?

I don't like to believe that, but unfortunately, I can be, and I have been.

Kind.

Loving.

Caring.

I want to believe that, but unfortunately, I'm not, even though I have been.

So what am I?

I could use the entire english dictionary of adjectives to describe myself.

If I were to describe myself in one word, well, the only one that would work is:

All-around.

Yes, that would be the one word to describe me best.

I am mean.

I am kind.

I am selfish.

I am caring.

I am hateful.

I am loving.

I am ungrateful.

I am thankful.

I am lazy.

I work hard.

I lie.

I am truthful.

There are many things that I am, but "all-around" describes me best.

There are things I regret, and there are things I would never trade.

I am who I am, and I won't allow you, or anyone, to change me.

It took me awhile to find myself.

The true mind in which I speak.

Someday, you'll find yours.

The true mind is what you'll seek.

 

One day the true mind will speak.

It will possibly be very bleak.

One day you will break.

And wish sanity for your sake.

The true mind won't guide you astray.

Only the body, which carries you away.

I have found my true mind.

It lead me out of a bind.

True mind showed me true love.

Blissful, as a dove.

So, one day the true mind will speak.

And it probably will be very bleak.
