Powerful mind

Carrie Zis 1981 (Narrogin)



The power of the mind a  gift I love

But something I must conceal from most

It’s a positive way for me to see but stand back and let things be

I am a creature of my experience, a story unlike most

Different and happy to be so, I will smile and be soft and polite

But often dare to stand out, because I will never follow the crowd

I don’t know how people run in the herd, it doesn’t look fun trying to fit in

So alone I stay happily so, I don’t need much but trust is something from the past

Hope one day I can find it again, but happily to only let the worthy in
