MIND CONTROL IS FAR FROM EASY

Please make no mistake, today’s train of thought
(Penned and published on Monday, November 20, 2017)
Concerning my mission to consciously place angst to one side is
No easier than denying my longing to taste forbidden fruit ...
If it was otherwise, I’d just relax my mind naturally, knowing
That being well practiced my intuitive powers would
Readily release the next in a line up of unidentified
Inner conflicts, which lay in wait to leap from
Subconscious storage into my frontal lobe, suggesting
Why writer’s block is rare for a world class pleaser such as
I’ve come to know myself to be
In fact, while lying here, relaxing muscle tension and
Frustration by inhaling oxygen, expansively,
I’m considering penning a sequel to
The Little Engine That Could entitled:
Until It Could Not, because today’s train of thought
Pays homage to my conscious acknowledgement of
Human vulnerabilities to which my defense system
Blinds me from seeing as my own whenever I forget that
A wall of denial exists inside my head, dividing my brain into
Separate parts, thereby conning my conscious awareness from
Acknowledging this fact:  In no way is my body impervious to
Injuries that commonly plague others, who, like me, habitually
Push themselves far beyond the human limitation of
Phyysical, emotional and/or mental endurance, and
Ad that insight (spotlighting over-achievers) describes me to a tee
I’ve come to see how viewing my younger self as being as
Invincible as a super hero led to the undoing of
The Little Engine That Could Until It Could Not
