Hypnotized... Poem by R.H. Peppers

When I was young
I read a little book about hypnosis
Curious as to how the mind works
And why my mind be often so puzzled

As a teen thoughts more than doubled
Wouldn’t be a problem if it were just me and my own thoughts
But what to do about these other voices?

Seemed as if each decision in life
Boiled into a great debate or discussion
Guess I thought one voice a Devil on my left
And the other an Angel on my right shoulder

And then there is me in the middle…. oO

Interesting the mind’s eye
Found if you program it to recognize the letters B L U E
It may forever associate that group of symbols
With looking upward to the sky

The mind is that of fable
Illusion.. reality and all things between
An amusement park
Haunted houses.. roller coasters.. bells.. whistles..

I like to think of it more as the saying goes..

…………………………..“life is but a dream! ”

this little book explained
to be hypnotized is in realty the reverse
as we experience our mind records

e.g.

the many a limits we place on ourselves..
