“Untitled”

Written by Kimberly Ann Goins

You overthink things!

Let your mind rest

Stop thinking about things

You say to me

But I cannot do this

Because that would be contradictory to my nature

And I cannot be like you and shut my mind off and simply go to sleep

And my mind is much more complex than that

And the mind is a paradox

Because it is a muscle of the most perplexing nature

And it can be expanded and strengthened

Or did you know?

And so my mind is much different than is yours

Because I strive to use every inch and aspect of it

Although that is impossible

And I wonder if it is within the mind

Where some small part of the soul is hidden

Since although real it is not always tangible

Especially to us in our limited physical state

And don’t be mad at me for tapping into the spiritual

Supernatural and incredible

And I want more than a life with physical experiences

Lived in the physical realm

And among physicalities

But rather my realities

Are much more different than are yours

Because you strive to escape spirituality

While I literally revel in it excited and happy

To finally have understanding

That yes, my life has purpose and meaning

And no I’m not crazy

Because spiritual is all that matters

Physical passes away and is destroyed

And when there is nothing left

And all is said and done

Only spiritual remains

So who is crazy now?

Who is overthinking things?

Oh no, dear sir, perhaps you are not thinking enough.
