Mind Over Matter

My mind is in fast forward

And I'm moving in slow motion



My thoughts are deeper than the ocean

My goals are higher than the sky

There's internal commotion

And I'm barely getting by



I've got too many ideas

And not enough ambition

Gotta get some energy;I need some ammunition



I'm tired of sitting still

I'm a gypsy at heart

Let my music take me where it will

Wanna perfect my art



I wanna do it now - But I wanna do it right

It just won't work out somehow

Now I can't sleep at night



I wanna find a go-between

I need to work things out

The thing I really need

Is to alleviate the doubt

This is EXCELLENT! I really like this because of the honesty,simplicity and metaphor use in analogy. Every writer is a gypsy so to speak,always traveling in the mind to the next adventure of a piece written,hesitent at points to figure out the "right" words in their own chosen view to make the piece say what they want to but every writer is their own worst critic too haha....Don't know if I told you but I have two journels I keep.One the front half is various pics I clip and collect for ideas for pieces to write,the second half words, phrases,quotes, or just general ideas I collect the second journel is where I print other peoples pieces because I find them profound of content or they strike a nerve with me somehow and your piece here goes into that journal. It's a good ref journel because it also shows me how people write at different times. Another words like something written this year might be different then last year or tomorrow fromsame writer and its interesting to see the changes and reason for the changes.......
