Conquer...

"Which way do I take?", I wonder
Standing at cross-roads.
My mind is shadowed with images of failure,
And my heart with fear.

Unseen hands caressed me,
And made me feel, what I could not see.
Images of success filled my mind.
My heart filled with joy, which till then was hollow.

"Conquer you mind", a voice said, "And everything postive will follow".


PS: If anyone is to blame , its Leo. He is inficting me upon poetry. He was vowed to find the poet in me, so dear readers, bear with him. (And me ofcourse) :D

conquer your mind - its hard!

it is one of the thing which anyone can't control!
maximum we can do is to make it think positive all the time,which is too hard!
do you know that the first instantaneous thought that pops up in mind would be negative,no,I can't!and we try hard to make it yes and I can!try to observe.

somehow i feel we fail when we see r selves and the mind as diff entities.. coz when one says one thing the other will oppose..free

Vishnu said...

tht was pretty good.. be the optimist..

P.S: a slight modification..

"Which way do I take?", I wonder
nearing the cross-roads, i scooter
time is running out
i raise my right hand
the left indicator keeps on blinking
while i go straight crashing..
