It seems way too easy
To loose control
To an irrational thought
An emotional pull.
It drags me in deeper
Yet I fake a smile
I don’t even squirm,
As it walks on for miles.
The craziest part
Is it’s all in my mind
But it’s still in control
And I freeze every time.
This can’t conquer me!
I think to myself
But I keep going deeper
And don’t ask for help.

The soft morning sun
Bathing everything in light
Slipped past me today.

I write this now after watching The Avengers: Infinity Wars, so it is safe to say if you have not seen it yet and do not want to see any spoilers, it would be wise to avoid this post. After watching the movie, I was completely reduced to tears, but not for the same reason as many others in that theater. When the credits began to roll, I felt like something had been stolen from me, a bit of security that I held onto wasn’t there anymore.

Blue is timeless. Blue lives for the future while not forgetting the past and not being bound by either in the present. Continue reading
Always changing never stopping

Have you ever heard the term “out of your mind”? It’s a phrase that basically means mental, loopy, insane, crazed, and a wide variety of others. The thing is, if you take some time to think about it, it doesn’t make all that much sense. Really, just think. Would a person who is constantly out of their mind be more insane than someone who is constantly stuck in their mind? That also brings up the question of what sanity really is. The Webster definition is “the ability to think and behave in a normal and rational manner; sound mental health”. Well… What is normal? What is a thought? And sound mental health? How exactly is that judged? Of course, I’m sure there are answers and theories and essays galore online, and that fact is undoubtably the reason behind 2-in-the-morning wikipedia searches. See, I’m not out of my mind, I’m in it, and I have no doubt it drives me crazy. So, I bring myself back, and come to the question, which is worse? Being in your mind or out of it? Continue reading
