When Your Subconscious Starts

by Ame Ai

When your subconscious starts talking,
you're in for a surprise.
It's way more than you or anyone may realize.

When your subconscious lays out all the reasons why and how,
you realize you don't have standard assumptions.
But at least one piece of the puzzle has gumption.

Even though you try to have fun,
and do not let worry weigh you,
you can't talk your way out of this one.
Before you know it, it's come undone.

As you try to clear the air,
alone you will appear
as you patiently prepare for your fate.

When you subconscious tells you this
when your positive thinking tells you that,
it's not just a head vs. heart issue.
It's a pain vs. dream issue.
It's a good vs. mean issue.

...

When you subconscious starts talking,
you need to take a break,
or it will overwhelm you
as you know what's at stake.

When your subconscious starts talking,
you try to turn it down,
but before you know it,
your smile is hijacked with a frown.

When your subconscious starts,
you write poetry, make art,
as you wait for the clouds to part
and open the gate.

When your subconscious starts talking,
all becomes clear.
You must face and conquer your fear
before your dream prize will come near.

I fear you are right and that our subconscious has far more to do with our writing then we might ever want to acknowledge. Good write.
