My brain..can be such a pain!

My brain can be such pain

A gift that can turn so quickly into my bane!

Allow me to explain

There are 1000s of different thoughts that pass through my brain

Some interesting-

Some mundane

And even others that refrain

My capacity to remain

Humane!

Each thought.. convincing me of its power to self ordain

Itself into relevance 

Each belief fights to remain 

No matter how profane

This is a pattern…so arcane!

With a deep groove and a deep grain!

Each vying to maintain…

It’s significance..

And seeking to ascertain

It’s hierarchy in the chain

Of thoughts and ideas no matter how inane!

I’d like to send some of them down the drain

So many are habits, patterns..that have taken decades to ingrain’

An inordinate amount of energy it does take to maintain

At times, I feel like I’m going insane.

My strongest ally can turn into a ball and chain.

At times I feel like I could burst a vein

Whenever I travel by train

Or even aeroplane

My thoughts are free to wander

To find a new lane!

New horizons-a new terrain

More possibilities-less constrain

I’d like to start a new campaign

There’s so much to gain 

By opening up to a new domain.

Whether I do it in Portugal, Mexico, or Spain!

Living a pace that’s more humane!

Choosing which thoughts to follow

And from which to abstain

There’s so much to gain

From making friends with my brain 

Let’s try this again

This time with champagne!
