A younger version of myself trying to figure things out
Wonders of my mind by DeVon Blair

I’ve experienced a lot of things in my life

I have deep thoughts involving things that go on at night

My surroundings don’t influence me as much as people think


I have my own mind


It’s very complex, and the restless nights make it worse

I imagine surviving through a tragedy no matter how much it hurts

Wobbling, tossing, and turning, I start to feel  weak

I try to regenerate my mind by emptying thoughts until I fall asleep


Extending this story I will go on like this

I have no regrets on the things that I’ve done

Shattered mindset, scattering thoughts,

I feel like the things that are bad in my life was my fault

I don’t know why, I just do

I guess it’s built up pain from all the of the things that I’ve been through


Don’t know how long this will last because I think about the past

Try to hide all of this pain but life is moving way too fast

So I can’t make up my mind because I’m running out of time

You may think that I’m alright but you can’t see, though you’re not blind


I have so many memories that I left with my sanity

Its out the door

Distributing my love was a great thing that I had done, but I just don’t do anymore

Darkness falls

My conscience calls

It tells me that what people say do not matter at all


I recognize that statement so I decided to live by it

I have some unfinished business that I need to attend to

but it’s a difficult thing to do

when I have so much to lose

I’m not actually this crazy

We have different points of views


I’ve been through this session so many times

I feel like this is a cycle and it will last a lifetime

Now it’s time for me to go

back to the place I never left

My imagination

The place where where I tend to lose myself


Author Notes
I wrote this poem while in college in my creative writing course. Looking back at it now made me realize how anxiety and depression was very much present but I had yet to come to terms with that idea at the time. I didn’t think anything of it when I was writing, I was only focused on getting these random thoughts out in hopes of getting a good grade.
