Caged Consciousness

One of those nights where your mind races 

And you have a million and one thoughts

 But when you grab a pen and paper, you draw a blank... 

Happens way too often to me. 

Its like being filled with all of these ideas and concepts 

But unable to release them from your mind... 

Trapped are my thoughts and cognitions, 

Held hostage by the very thing that gave them life. 

Teasing itself with the feeling of liberation and acceptance 

But reneging at the last minute 

As if to keep control of something that if set free wouldn't be. 

One of those nights where sleep isn't an option... 

The race continues.

"The mind commands the body and immediately it obeys. 

The mind orders itself, and meets resistance."
