Using or Being Used....... by Mind

Our minds are one of the most under rated and neglected specific of ours, that we seldom take notice of, and ignore its dimensional effect around us. This poem is to remind us to see the actuals of our mind every time.

When you take things personally,
and could not easily let go,
When it is harder to stay sane,
as everything seems to be out of flow
Remember, there's a difference between
Using the Mind
And
Being Used by Mind !!

When you are whooshed away by cheer,
Or rather taken aback from jeer,
When you least expect things to turn,
Time & Again finding in the midst of churn
Remember, there's a difference between
Using the Mind
And
Being Used by Mind !!

When you could not muster courage,
When nothing you do seems to go right,
When things look sort of a mirage,
When reins of veins is not outright
Remember, there's a difference between
Using the Mind
And
Being Used by Mind !!

At Least A Moment You Think

Many a times, the opposites makes us realise the essence of the missing. Wrote this, to remember the missing part, when it has not been lost and we still have time to sustain it right.

When you are sick, at least a moment you think
How it was being healthy
When you are alone, at least a moment you think
How it was being with everyone
When you lose direction, at least a moment you think
How it would have been paying heed to advice/cues

What if we think, remember and act the latter first !!

When you are bored, at least a moment you think
How it was being curious
When you are in complex, at least a moment you think
How it was being simple
When you are taken from outside (situations), at least a moment you think
How it was being inside 

What if we think, remember and act the latter first !!
