You can't escape your mind.
No matter how hard you try.
This fact can put you in a bind
And make you scream or cry.
Your mind is like a jail cell
You spend a life sentence in.
It can cause your anxiety to swell
And your hope to become thin.
You mind causes you to think stuff
That you might not want to.
It makes life really rough
As thoughts come out of the blue.
Don't get me wrong.
Your mind might give you happy thoughts,
But depressing thoughts are strong
As they are often about your faults.
You're stuck with your mind forever.
There's no getting rid of it.
No strategy whatsoever
Can save you from your mind's pit.

WELCOME TJENISE ~ Thanks for your first Poem ~ very thought provoking ! We are BODY ~ MIND ~ SPIRT and all three bring us joy& pain ~ THAT's LIFE ! You chose (in this poem) to focus on the mind and there is a lot of Truth (and experience) in what you say ! We are (to some extent) for what is in ourr minds ~ what we read and watch (TV) and the folk we hang out with all fills our mind with positive and negative stuff. Also there are lot of ideas and thoughts the enter our minds from the Community and we can't avoid these things. We are the GUARDIANS of our minds so we can choose to fill our minds with thigs that are Pure ~ Good ~ Beautiful ~ Peaceful etc or things that are opposite ~ the choice is ours ! Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK).
Great write
