~MIND RIDE~

You see my shell
so whole and so sweet
take a look in my mind
pain under my feet

You see my eyes
but don't open their door
fear hinders you desire
to explore

If you open the pathway
to my soul
What do you imagine will appear?
What is hiding? What is clear?

Come on.. I invite you in,
Take a look around
from within

Secrets held locked
in a mind less than pure
How I overcame heartache,
and how I endure

The strength of wisdom
God placed inside me
though not perfect, it's a gift
for the struggles that be

Time passages from febal to strong
How I learned to use humility
to right a wrong

The secret in shedding off
bitterness
peace captured in awarness

One area you'll find
holds the key to determination
How to use self proclaimed strength
for inner reconciliation

The love of humanity
and desire to grow
is another section
I want you to know

A fragile heart
that beats for love
gets bigger, though pushed
and shoved

A conscious descision
I made as a child
to survive lifes challenges
whether harsh or mild

To care what others think
is placed in one section,
to receive critiscism is anothers reflection

To balance the two
is something to practice,
a needed skill
for self likeness.

To be humble enough
to keep your ears open
For one may offer
an enlightening perception

How to love
when love's not returned
is not easy,but can be learned

To take the pain of your youth
and use it to set you free
now there's a lesson
for millions to see

So don't be afraid
of whats hidden inside
come on in
enjoy my minds ride!
