Modification

I’m a strong person.

I’m still alive and breathing,
that pretty much says it all.
But there must be something beyond this.

I bite down my excuses

and paint over my flaws
.
I speak the words that

threaten to drown me.
My hand will scribble
them on paper

or click these keys

and that’s the real release.


I stare into every shadow I can find,

I even seek them out,

because I want to raise
the whole damn thought
process
 and start again.

Yet, we don’t have the luxury
of a blank canvas mind
.
There's no such thing
as a clean slate.

So we do what we can.

We rebuild,
 reprogram,
and paint over our imperfections.

A mind can be reprogrammed,
I've already changed so much of the code. 

Change the thought process,
and rebuild your mind....
