Mind, Oh Mind

Always troubling, always bothering

Sometimes clear, sometimes smothering

Can’t you keep quiet?

Sometimes closed like a closet

Sometimes open like a faucet

Sometimes racing like a shooting star

Sometimes acting like a stalled car

Have you lost your mind?

Sometimes flowing like a fountain

Sometimes steadfast like a mountain

Goddamn it, can’t you make up your mind?

Tricking me to say things I don’t mean

Duping me to do things that I am not keen

Why don’t you mind your own business

Shut up, if you don’t mind! Quiet I said

I want pin drop silence

I want complete stillness of the mind

And don’t you dare change your mind!
