Brain, Are You Listening?

It is busy.....I think

By Shannon FeltnerPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

My brain loves

to love me

It knows what it

needs to survive

The thoughts I have

when I am alone

I would not trade

then for anything

They tell me

how to truly be free

I am a wicked

thing, I know

I express my desires

they way they

should be expressed

I know it can be

bad though

I am a control

freak

I simply have

to be

If I don’t tell

you to eat,

you’ll go hungry

If I don’t tell

you to sleep,

you’ll get tired

If don’t tell

you to have

carnal relations,

you’ll never shut me up

Would you prefer it

if I never listened?

Would you it prefer it

if you never did?

You would never

be truly free
