The Mind Is a Place

The Mind is a Place
The mind is a fragile place
where a word can break
hope and heart and despond.
The mind is a resilient place
where a word can build
courage and hope and trust.
The mind is a fragile place
where one more step is too much
and another one impossible.
The mind is a resilient place
where one more step is possible,
take another and another.
The mind is a fragile place
where thoughts of self are dark
and foreboding and unforgiving.
The mind is a resilient place
where thoughts of self are bright
and loving and forgiving.
The mind is a fragile place,
the mind is a resilient place:
the mind is a place.
