THE HAUNTED MIND

.

.

The haunted mind, filled with ghosts from the past

Has fantastic visions of what could, or should, have been

The haunted mind makes dire predictions for the future

Yet is stuck in the past where nothing can be changed

Except our interpretatations of what happened

Instead of predicting the future, 

The haunted mind needs to interpret the past 

To look in a magic mirror and see how young and naive you were

How the odds were stacked against you

How bravely you tried, your motives driven by hurt and fear

How very far you have come

Predict your survival, predict developing wisdom and skill

The candle of clarity will drive the ghosts from the haunted mind

So you may enter every room in your castle and find them swept bare

Ready for today, for the now, where no ghost can follow.
