Dear Brain

Why is it that when I get hurt

You over analyze and make things worse

Why is it that when I start to pick myself up

You are there to push me back down

When I realize what’s right

You make me do what’s wrong

When I see the light

You say I’m too far gone

When I find love

You push it away

When I find purpose

You lead me astray.

Please don’t take this as an attack

For I know how often you have my back

You protect me from getting wounded

You protect me from getting cut

But sometimes I wish you would just.

Let me see

Let me breathe

Let me run

Set me free

From your rules

And deceit

Help me find

What is true

What is trust

What is love

What is just

What is god

What’s a friend

Help me find

What’s my purpose

In the end.
