Is your mind a despotic tyrant? <br />Who brutally pushes you around <br />Does it order you to smoke cigarettes <br />Hound you, forever hound <br /> <br />Does it tell you incessantly that you need them <br />When it's patently obvious you do not <br />Does it briefly reward you when you listen? <br />Only rarely, just to keep you on the spot <br /> <br />Has your mind become a traitor? <br />Living dangerously inside you <br />Has it become a loose cannon? <br />Which to you is no longer true<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/power-of-the-mind-2/
