My mind is adept at playing games with me, follows no rules, and wields a power so strong,
the darkness of its depth leaves me petrified, I writhe under its sting, the pain seems unbearable
sometimes it shrivels like a deflated balloon, but mostly it swells up in haughty pride
it conjures up the wiliest thoughts, cementing it with resolute conviction and barricading it with an inflated ego.
I am blinded in a haze when it showers missiles of fear.
Wallowing in self-doubt, I feel like a hapless pawn under its clutches.
It is only when its sublime qualities come to fore, it rings in bells of happiness
I love its mellowed persona, when I get to be Me, revelling in a euphoric bubble, afraid that it may burst anytime.
After long battle of trying to gain control over my mind,
I have realized, its mercurial temperament is fraught with multifarious layers.
Demons and angels both reside in there, only whom I feed, grows!

What you feed, grows…you summed it up well, Radhika. I am sure lot of us fight the demons often and provide space in the prime location to the Angels 😊

We need to constantly drive away the demons until the angels get permanent residency 😀

You beat me to it, wise child of light. 👏 I was gonna say, be wary of which one you feed. Oh my— you will be alright. I know it now.
Blessings. Stay in the light. 💗

You’ve deftly captured the travails of a chattering mind. Sometimes an angel and sometimes a ravaging demon.
Wonderfully done, as always dear Radhika.
