Mind - Your Business

I watch the chatter in my mind

That tries to cause distress

But I’m aware of its wily ways

And I’m not too impressed.

My mind, I believe, belongs to me

And will do what’s good for me

But I have watched all that it does -

And extremely cautious is what I must be.

Perhaps, my mind is not under my control

Like most people that I see around

But having watched it closely for long

I can figure out how I am bound.

That awareness itself brings release

From the clutches of my dear mind

And so I closely watch what it does,

Force it’s hand to be more kind.

I shall not remain an unaware slave

To the wanton actions of my mind;

Instead I’ll turn resolutely around,

Get a hold of it from the front and behind.

My mind shall henceforth be my slave

And perforce do what I wish

For I have the power of will

And an awake spirit - I won’t perish.
