My Monkey Mind


Somewhere midway
on life’s pathway
I meet angels
and I feel shameful
about being human
for what I have been
all these years
A social parasite
A thankless scavenger
A selfish receiver
And
I say to myself
I will no more be
And
Then I try
And
Then I fail
And
Then I cry
And
I regret
Why cant I forget
the I
Why???
Why is it so tough?
Letting go of
Our own self
Replacing “ish” with “less”
And then I sleep
and see a light
Saying
Wake up pumpkin
Don’t give up
And then I get up
And start over
I know I shall fail again
Land up in
I’s domain
But
enduring this grind
hopefully one day
I shall find
a trick to tame
this monkey mind!
