Dual Personality For C.P.Sharma Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Dual Personality

Sometimes I try to concentrate.
My mind decides to deviate
and gaily goes its sweet way
Against my will I have to say.

Although I love to fantasise
I often find to my surprise.
My mind is playing tricks on me.
Accepting as reality.

Strange things which cannot possibly
exist outside of fantasy.
Perhaps my mind is free to go
to places that I cannot know.

Bound by my frame of reference.
To where there is no difference.
Reality and fantasy
can coexist quite happily.

Am I my mind? Is my mind me?
It seems to me quite possibly.
My mind does not depend on me.
An independent entity

which is quite free to come and go.
I am convinced it must be so.
Although I know I’m always me.
My mind remains a mystery.

Am I my mind? Is my mind me?
I ponder on it frequently.
It seems to work efficiently
but how it does still baffles me.
