Unbreakable Mind

Unbreakable Mind

A Poem by N.Sevilla

The seconds ticked by as I was still in the silence.
One knee on the ground, one foot on the ground.
Hands raised up, chin raised up.
I did not pray, but I did beg.
I begged to my mind and to everything and nothing, 
To clear the fog surrounding my mind.
Minutes ticked by and I was still in the silence.
I sat, legs crossed, fingers of both hands lightly touching.
My eyes, closed.
I did not meditate, but I did think.
I thought and flooded my mind with thoughts,
To break the dam surrounding my mind. 
Hours ticked by and I was still in the silence.
My breath now slowed.
Body relaxed, face relaxed, an occasional toss and turn.
I did not dream, but I did sleep.
I slept and I slept and dug myself deeper,
To squeeze through the cracks surrounding my mind.
Years ticked by and I was still in the silence.
My skin, cold. Breath, gone.
My arms over my still chest.
I did not "slumber", but I did die.
I died and stopped my heart and blood, 
To release my mind from its own binds.
But there was nothing,
Even in death,
Nothing.

Author's Note

N.Sevilla
Most of it actually happened due to my frustration with my two year long writer's block. I didn't die, though. I'm alive. I think.
