This journey of self-discovery

isn’t all it’s cracked up to be

Though my mind finds precious gems of me

my heart speaks a different language entirely

It speaks rubbish, as far as I can glean,

so I move to my mind for some discourse with me

Its thoughts are hard in its harsh delivery

This journey of self-discovery

has unearthed more worms than a crow can eat

and created more ‘mindfulness’ work for me

It isn’t all it’s cracked up to be

but worth the effort for a ‘less-faulty’ me

-for a mind less-hard and more distinguished

and a heart that at least speaks English

all worth the effort for a ‘less-faulty’ me
