oh, my mind.
Oh, my mind.
My thoughts convert into words which i write in this phone.
Pixels, an led screen and a memory card to store information.
Capturing what i’m trying to convey.
To this class
To all of you
It’s intriguing that i have all of your attention.
Eyes are focused and i’m on the spot.
Focused on something i wrote in my bed at 12:45 in the morning.
Trying to think of something clever and witty to say.
As i read this aloud now it’s funny how it came about in retrospect.
It’s a new day, i’ve fallen asleep and have awoken again.
I’ve brushed my teeth and walked out the door.
But i’m not there yet.
I’m still in my room
Still trying to get my point across.
Yet, i don’t have a point.
I’m conflicted on my choices
Do i talk about the awful things in the world?
Like murder, rape?
Or the corrupt system that we all live in?
The fact that someone is probably reading every word i type, as i type it.
Probably two men in suits sitting in an office drinking coffee.
With their polished dress shoes kicked up on the table.
What’s up guys?!! Hello!
Or i could talk about love and how it’s red and raw.
Beautiful and ugly
An experience that exposes all that is pure
All that is real.
Even the riches shades of red can remain true over time
Yet still possess the ability for transparency
Grey.
Two completely altered mindset’s
Kinda like how i can’t figure out what i’m trying to say.
It’s getting frustrating at this point.
My mind works as if i’m the ocean.
Vast and wide
But once the tide rolls in
That single grain of sand to reach the farthest point on the shore is a single thought.
Kind of like how there are over 7 billion people on this planet.
Yet every single person possesses the gift of this intricate, abstract, beautiful 3 pound piece of meat that is the human brain.
Mono. it is one.
How can i think the way i think
When i’m simply microscopic
Earth is only a spec on the beard that is on the man of the universe.
Something so small
My single grain of sand
Washed back into the sea.
My conscious comprehension of this is baffling
I am able to change perspective like intervals
But can only walk a certian distance before i tire?
They say that patience is a virtue, just like instant gratification gets the best of us.
I can’t stop horrible things from happening in the world
Just like i can’t control how love works.
Sometimes i can’t control my mind, but i have more control that i realise.
What i’m trying to convey is make more time to breathe and relax
Think, but don’t over think.
