The Enigma I call "My Mind"

In my recent apartment cleaning binge, I once again stumbled across an old book of poems I wrote many moons ago.

Inspired by a fellow Blog Catalogue blogger named "nothingprofound" who has a blog of daily aphorisms, I thought I would post a few of my own youthful attempts at self-expression.

Not sure what to call them, poems, random thoughts or utter ramblings of a lonely bullied teen. Perhaps they will speak to someone else or simply provide me with further insights into the enigma that is my mind.


"Pain is but a mild measure of Man's Endurance."

"That which hurts most is a rose whose thorns are hidden."

"Sarcasm is a misdirected arrow aiming for acceptance."

"I am an ear with a mouth that no one hears."

"There is nothing so rare as the truth."

"Truth is right before us. We need only open our eyes to see it." 

"2 is a number that makes a single 1 happy."

"Faith is the parent of Courage."
--

"Follow your heart's path. 
The journey may be endless, 
but the world is yours."
--

"Chaos is around me
crushing through the plaster
mixing into cement
hardening my soul."
--

"A caterpillar...
Snuggles in its own cocoon
'Til its wings are formed."
--

"Find the road that leads to nowhere.
Find the house that stands alone.
See the garden filled with flowers.
Smell their fragrance and travel on."
--
 
"When Nature strikes her fists in anger,
whirling passions up in flight,
Man can only stand in wonder,
witnessing this awesome sight.
Through flashes of light 
And roars of thunder,
he contemplates the life he's dole.
For this is a time of revelation...
 Some call it the Dark Night of the Soul."
