Unbroken


It’s like I have two minds

Not a double sided sword

But two minds

From negative to positive

High to low

Right from left

 

It’s a strange distinction

I cannot explain

Unless if you have it

 

It’s like a crack in your mind

New pictures come in

Showing you scenes

That you would never imagine

 

But, is it a disadvantage

To have this imagination?

Or a reflection of the other side of the mind?

 

The people that have it

I can understand

Because I have it

 

It’s a blessing, not a curse

To have this feeling

Because I can truly help someone

With this feeling

 

 

To get to the core

Without hesitation

 

Yes, people look at you

Like a freak

Is that make them any better?

No

It makes them a freak too

Because they are insecure about themselves

 

They judge

They flee

They run away

From what hurts inside

 

It’s a tragic

A cycle of hopelessness

 

Someone judges

Then gets insecure

Becomes depressed

Then dies

Because they lose hope

Of gaining confidence

 

Seeing this cycle, I’m fine where I stand

 

Yes, I tremble

I cry

I sigh

But, that does not mean

I lie in the bed

In order to die

I recover

In order to discover

That it’s not bad at all

 

Yes, I may tremble

I may feel negative

And feel down

But, there is a cure

 

I build myself

I rest myself

I think ahead of myself

In order to dissolve this feeling-

Anxiety
