Mind

Your mind can be ludicrous

It's ignorant of equanimity

It's your own worst enemy

That beats you down viciously

Relentlessly

Consistently

And endlessly

Till all hope has vanished from the vicinity

And tidal waves are crashing in the sea of tranquility

That was your mind that crossed the line

Into the depths of self inflicted insanity

My favorite type of poems are ones about the mind, and i absolutely loved this one. it is my own worst enemy, because it has been the cause of many of my falls. And i'm sure it's almost captured me in my own self inflicted insanity. it's a little bit terrifying, what the human mind is capable of doing to others and its own person.
