Free Your Mind
Free your mind
From the thick shadowy sludge
That oozes into your cranial crevices
Blocking the clarity of light
The tar that tempts you by slithering up your legs as you walk, causing you to drag your feet until it feels easier to sit motionless and give in to its engulfing power
Free your mind
From the gnawing fear of missing
Moments, deadlines, experiences, cues, clues, goals
Of missing out
The dread that crawls up your hunched shoulders as your fingers tap away, making your eyes spin, then droop, until your gaze goes hollow, spilling all purpose
Free your mind
From the concrete walls
The ones that box you in
That you crash into over and over
The vise that looms relentlessly firm as the sides slowly slide towards each other, collapsing in on the little open space you once had to breathe
Free your mind
Again and again
Not as an action but as a continual state of being.
