Mr. Mind Poem by Viraj Amarasinghe

Woke up this morning
found my mind, being gone far
a surprise!
Cannot let this happen again.

Hey Mr. mind
Do not play with me
I am gonna put you in jail
If you wonder around again!

Be here and now
when I wake up
Be here when I walk
sitting down, sleeping,

Be here and now
every minute, every moment
at peace and calm
giving me joy

It is enough
you have done so much
Damage to my life
you are not me anymore
somebody else aren't you either

You are a magician
you illustrates
All these lies
All these stories
Can't believe
you can do all these things
But, none of them are real
Diluted we are
by your illustrations

But no more
recognized you are
as you are
No more dilutions
about your illustrations.

Do whatever you can
But i am gonna tame you
Like a wild elephant
Being tamed by a man

I am challenging you
Mr. Mind
I know
you are strong and stubborn…

Yet i can tame you
using your own strength
Let's do this lets fight
I am not gonna give up
Till I see, Mr. Mind, being calm......
