Cruise Control
The human mind possesses an immense potential, but it can become a perilous journey if left to wander aimlessly.
My purpose is something I can no longer avoid; It gave me a weapon I now call my voice. I once came across it by accident, Now it’s here by choice.
Time to make another one: It can be merely a cheap toy, Or it can be so much more If properly deployed.
I admit, It’s a great tool for both defensive and offensive tactics, But not as much When intrusive thoughts start to make advances.
When that happens…
my mind goes in circles
and panics
forgets its practice
put in passenger
denied access
scribbles clash on the page
violent reenactments
drives through carpal tunnels
into complacent blackness
And when I arrive I do not know the time; Still day but there is subtle sunshine, Likely a quarter past five.
Looking down, I stare at the lines Another wrote, When I abandoned post Stuck on cruise control.
