much of living
is a choice of the mind;
we decide how to spend
the banked hours of our lives
though we are unconscious
of the transaction -
of making the choice to trade time -
our days are determined by our beliefs,
we have constructed our own limitations
with the words in our minds:
"I can't"
"I don't know how"
"there isn't time"
echo within the cavernous walls
keeping us from our full potential,
we determine how we are hurt,
though it is all perception of the mind,
habits practiced through the years -
now second nature -
keep us held down;
we are our own restraints;
we are strong,
we are safe,
but are we alive?
