Born To Fly

29 Nov 2015

Mental Journey
I understand that it’s the thought that counts
And I appreciate all the thoughts
I really do…
But sometimes I wish they wouldn’t help

“You stress yourself.” They say
“Just learn to let it go.
You have a nice house and family
Just forget what they say,”
Stop fighting, and do it our way
They do not understand

My mind was born to fly!
It can soar through the heavens
And grasp the eleven dimensional construct
So stringy in its origin

My soul was born to care!
I need to… Need!
To help all I can
My mind can solve the puzzle
So I should not hoard its power
I try to give it freely
But they do not understand

I know they’re looking out for me
But why can’t they see
It is their constant wish to ground me
That is crushing my soul
Like the relentless pull of gravity
Pressing the Aether in around my head

Why can’t they see
My mind was born to fly!

Mental Journey

I am on a journey of the mind. Contemplating the universe on every scale, and doing a complete introspective exploration. I may never be a literary academic, but I share my humble thoughts in hope that they may inspire others.
