Mindless

in #poetry8 years ago

Woke up with a cloudy mind
My brain seemed blind, I was confused
My mind was failing me
My mind was falling ill

What is a man without his mind
An empty shell
Devoid of his ability to reason
Devoid of his ability to create

Yet I remembered the words of this angel
The angel I never gave enough credit
Her voice husky, her message clear
"if the body can get ill, so can the mind"

The burden of a sick mind I carried
Until she came and worked her magic
Restoring my ability to reason
Restoring my power to create

But when my mind fails again
And I cannot write
Again would I remember my Psychiatric Nurse
My nurse humble, even in all her pride!
