My Mind

This is for my friend Connor, who has cheered me up immensely while I've been in Japan.

My mind
Contains some questionable things
Things I do not want
Things I never asked for
Things I can't shake off

My mind
Is lacking some things
Things other people have
Things I've tried to get
Things I somehow never achieve

My mind
Drives me up the wall
Makes me doubt my sanity
Makes me doubt others
Makes me doubt myself

My mind
Confuses me in many ways
Makes me tired
Makes me angry
Makes me cry

My mind
Is sometimes my only refuge
A place that is my own
A place that I control
A place that never leaves

My mind is chaos
But he calms me
Reassures me
And talks me down
So I can find peace
And live to see a happier day.
