Mind's Tricks (Original Poem):

in poetry •  7 years ago 

Always challenge what you believe

Your mind plays tricks on you like a deviant dealer in the dark laneways of the city's streets

He beckons you to come a little closer, as he hides in the shadows

"Do you want to play a game?"

"It will only cost you a penny"

But for a penny's play, you could pay much more

Be mislead by the trickster and it can take you to sharp corners leading from a mansion of abundance to a slum of scarcity

One misled step and your foot can fall into a wettened concrete path whose chance to solidify just arrived

The mind is a fraudster claiming to be the CEO of your corporation

Hazed by the cloud of time

Amnesia sets in as you forget the corporation is but an illusion on the stock exchange of our earthly desires

Believe the mind to be you, and your mind will rob you blind

But feel your truth emanating within you and your sight will be restored

Like a blind man miraculously seeing for the first time.

Concentrated truth, yet easily digested.

Thanks @gruppler! It was a little something I wrote up earlier today.

Monkey mind, nothing but trouble :)

Yep, that's the one. :)

goodness I love this so much! We would definitely connect pretty well. I also write a lot of poetry like this :)

❤ Thank you :) I'd love to read some poetry you have written. Do you have any on your page?

haha I do https://steemit.com/poem/@awakealiveaware/i-ll-leave-the-gate-wide-open-to-hell-for-you

That is more of an erotic poem I feel like - I haven't put any of my universal mindset poems on yet - But I will soon! :)

Love your Hanuman. Even the mad monkey mind wants to be free 🙏
