by Chasity Gaines

In the wide expanse of the mind,
The innermost thoughts of Individuality
Internal dialogue of self loathing
A constant barrage of human flaws
beyond control, a reminder
of every wrong move,
misstep, blunder
Every wrong word, look,
and deed. A struggle
to balance the conscience and subconscious. A struggle
not to lose oneself in the wide
expanse of the mind,
keeping the rope tied
tightly each time one
dives into their true self.
