One of my more positive poems
Inside My Mind
“Welcome to Wonderland”
Reads the welcoming sign
Beckoning towards a door-
No clue what’s inside
I take a deep breath
Summon courage from below
I step forward, and out the other side
I need to know
Curiosity propels
Fear pushes back
I’m trapped in limbo
No way back
I long for my home,
My welcoming door
That’s when I realize
I’ve seen this one before
Memories are housed
In the darkest of darks
Memories encased
Waiting for me to embark
I am released,
I step quickly to the side
Turning towards a new door
What’s this trying to hide?
An endless cacophony
Doors quickly appear
I turn and I turn
As my heart fills with fear
Finally I realize
It isn’t a test
My mind fills with ease
My heart begins to rest
I look and I look
Till I can look no longer
But even then I know
There will always be another
Another door
Another memory
Another life
All of it inside
My glorious mind

This speaks to me of endless possibility. That behind every door... is another door. After climbing a mountain, there is another to climb. And it can be frightening, overwhelming.
But one finds new things in each experience. An opportunity to learn and grow. And once one is in sync with that process, embracing it rather than defying it, one is in sync with nature itself.
Evolution is progressive adaptation. We change depending on context, and it forms the self over time. Knowing the self gives power to choose, for when you know your wants and needs, you can live with self-imposed purpose.
Just the feels I get from it. Love the poem even if I'm way off base lol.
