Everyday every hour turn that pain into power<3


I used to have a solid state of mind,

but know I shutter at the thought of big decisions,

I always close my eyes and imagine a brighter time,

but my brain believes that is a crime,

I once could think clearly,

but now my thoughts are clouded like the night sky,

if I could shut my mind off,

I would as quick as the car radio,

I dont breath as softly as before,

but I might decide to stop and soar,

I cant know for sure

but I can keep my mind pure,

I wont crumble under the weight of my thoughts,

but I might strain myself with the burden of overthinking,

I used to be solid,

but know I am partial.

The ending could use a little more work. Remember to stick to rhyming or not rhyming. This has great potential, thought. Continue to grow.
