MIND OVER MATTER

Hello! I wrote this one while I was feeling a bit down on myself! It really helped me feel better. I drew inspiration from Frank Ocean's song White Ferrari, and I really do love it. It's a bit of a shorter one. Enjoy!


mind over matter is magic

but i am not a magician

i am a girl, a child

caught in a flurry of self

hatred

and pure loss.


so i ask

if mind over matter is true

then how does matter even matter


cells to tissue to organ to

my body

all atoms and matter and gooey inside

stuff

so how can i hate it

how can it even matter


if mind over matter is true

surely my

wit and my IQ,

my political ventures and my dreams of law,

tell a million more stories than a stretch mark

a skin fold

a scar?


my matter

does matter

for she has carried me

for 15 years


but my matter

doesn't matter more than my mind

and the mirror won't ever capture

the magic of my mind


mind over mater is magic

i do magic.
