Our mind is an odd space, 

sometimes it comfort us, other 

times it shuns us. 

Sometimes it whispers encouraging 

words and at times, it’s words are like 

sharpened knives laced in poison. 

Sometimes it sings a lullaby to make us 

drowsy and other times it is the reason 

We are up all night. 

Such is the paradox of the mind that we end 

up wondering if it truly is ever on our side.
