This is a Letter to My Stubborn Brain: Make Up Your Mind

My brain constantly indecisive

Which makes me feel bipolar

When can I be sure about things soon?

Maybe when I am older


A constant theme like day and night

My thoughts change from then

As I overthink things that are simple

When stuck making a choice


Unfair how it was easy before

No question was wondered

Like who I strive to be in life

Or what I really wanted


The pre-woven times of yesterday

Felt nearer than a blip

But now my brain is most complex

And stubborn with its choices


I’m running out of time again

Please let me get some help

I should make right decisions so

Can you make up your mind?


The author's comments:

I wanted to write about my thoughts and feelings and what my brain/conscience made me feel. I have a hard time making decisions considering the fact that I can’t go back from what I choose and I could be walking on a broken step going one way, and it makes me uncomfortable and stressed. I “wrote” a letter to my brain to just “make up its mind” and ask for help when I really need it because I don’t always prioritize. I wrote in lyric form because it helps me compare my thoughts. It’s a very clean way of writing about things that can seem confusing.
