The Making of Me

My mind has been telling me to slow down

To look around

And “savor what’s around you.”

Also why is there a constant hum of background noise?

Forget about the demands of others sometimes

Because I’m your mind

I, me, my spirit, my personality

Rules over my body and mind

My mind, in particular, gets upset over what I want and what I need

“You make no sense,” it says

“There’s no logic behind you, I.”

Constant bickering

Day and night

My body is a silent witness to this spectacle

Even though the body cannot speak

It can move

Muscle memory has programmed it to continue on and on

It fights to survive

It fights to thrive

This is the story of my mind, body and I
