"Rewinding of the Mind"
Rewinding of the mind
Isn’t as simplistic as you’d find
With so many things defined
Through an illuminating bind
Reminding of the past
In a truthful light to cast
Can come as quite a shock
As to what the minds’ forgot
But the biggest thing to grasp
Is how the mind has embraced the clasp
Of too many external thoughts
Creating inner forts
That in which don’t benefit
And certainly don’t belong
The rawness grabbing insight
But some of it seems wrong
Unconscious state creates allowing
Of external sources to shape
That in which we live our world
Our number one mistake
We are ours alone to influence,
But get influenced we shall
It’s many part of the human nature
It’s why we put up a shell
For influence is natural
But it isn’t set in stone
For who you are is yours to choose
And yours to choose alone
