Battle of the Mind
My mind manages alone,
Taking in every piece attained
To analyze a puzzle quizzical to most ?
Ah, yes, such confusion taints my mindset
With a toxin that renders me in a daze,
But only because of the incapability
To be competent of what another
Has their eyes set upon
And what they're willing to throw on the line
Of this ruthless war that ticks rhythmically on a clock.
We not only combat against one another,
But ourselves and our patience to decipher
What may be inevitably arriving
In dreadful moments enveloped in our fears and worries.
You have a choice to remain idle,
Watching as it makes its way into your life
And eventually to your mind
As a toxic substance without an antidote,
Or you can adhere to what your mind declares
And do what will hopefully bring forth
The most favorable outcome
For not only yourself,
But the duel of time and decisions, too.
By then, may tranquility arise and peace overcome your mind
So you can live your life in prosperity
With the path that you chose to follow,
Even in the conditions of obscurity.
