Ode to Thought
You invision activity in a way I never could dream
You give me the will to make choices on my own
But the one thing you cannot do is be controlled
You give me the ability to grasp metaphorical expressions
You show me the only language that makes sense
Yet your only fault is your defense
The walls that you are surrounded by
Break down so easily
Makes me wonder why
You overflow with indecency
Words flow onto paper
Takes little to no time
Inhale you like a vapor
At first seems so sublime
You take me deeper into my mind than I've ever gone before
You force me to wonder of things that I wish weren't real
But you let me hold it all in, like you're made of steel
You give me the strength to continue on, oh so remarkable
No matter the disfunction, mayhem, disruption
You save me from insanity, but never the mind's corruption

This poem is about the mind, and the thoughts that overcome it. The brain is an astonishing thing, but sometimes t can corrupt what we think of ourselves, or others. This tribute to thought gives thanks to the amazing things and places my mind takes me to, but also shames it for the terrible things that it thinks. Some thoughts are beautiful, and others are completely disrupted. Sometimes, it's easy to put these things in writing, and some are never verbalized.
