I used to be...
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.
