Creative Mind

I imagine all the time

Sometimes even reminiscing

About all the times I smiled

Frowned

Laughed

Cried

Or even sat still

Constantly growing

Still traveling without knowing

Thinking about how life is going


You ever wonder?

You ever wander?

Wondered about that wandering mind of yours?

You are your imagination, thoughts, beliefs, and dreams

But how much thinking will it take to see?


Because you have to realize that

You are yourself

By yourself

For yourself


You ponder your childhood ways

To peek back to those good old days

As if there’s no way to look at yourself and say

“Yeah, I can keep making memories, it’s not too late.”


“I may have changed and estranged with my past,

But these memories still last

‘Cause I had a blast!

But that’s all in the past.”


When in reality you choose who you are based on who you were

Because that’s how you mature


But no matter what, you’re still that darling child filled with amazing schemes

Planned out plots and themes

—Like magic and laser-beams!

Because it takes one memory, one passion, one thought…


…And one dream

To make the world teem with everlasting green.
